I do recall that for decades the retaining wall on the Sea Beach (adjacent to the LIRR/NH) was heavily shored up with timbers and all the E3 (now E1) track moved away from the edge.Then there was the truck incident hitting the Myrtle el pillars a short time before abandonment and that was shored up with timber decking. But Mexico City is a catastrophic failure. We've seen these on overhead walkways but I can't remember this happening on a train-bearing rapid transit structure. |
