I assume there are station concourses underneath between Adams and Jackson, but I don't know what's underneath the rest of Canal around there.

You're right that Canal is at an artificially high level because it has to cross the approaches for the river bridges. There's actually one track underneath Canal - Union Station comes as far west as the centerline of Canal.
