Are there many viaducts that were built as four or more tracks from the start? I would guess there are very few.
This question is prompted by a post in the TRU thread:
I hadn't examined Huddersfield viaduct, but I know that many main lines were originally built as two tracks. Also I think of Stockport viaduct which can easily be seen from below to have been widened, Welwyn which is still two tracks, Wilmslow which is two separate viaducts alongside each other.

I also realise yesterday that Huddersfield railway viaduct has been historically widened. You can can see the middle and the sides at Bradford road. I never realised this before.
