Reply to comment by pretzel_enjoyer in Life under, and along, the viaduct. (Grays Ferry) by phillybeardo

yeah it's weird. as i understand it, they take great care of bridges so the trains keep running, so 25th is probably (?) structurally ok except it is crumbling underneath. i remember watching a trailer snag and pull the net from under the bridge at washington and grays

Yeah it's probably ok for trains* but the CSX operators certainly do not give a crap about the cars parked underneath.

*the news cycle around rail carriers and their unions has made me question any carrier's dedication to quality, so maybe it's not ok for trains who know.s

i don't see why the operators would. i don't know their route but i wouldn't think of cars underneath a (assuming) small stretch of their journey. and yeah i would assume that goes back to the apparently crappy rail industry.
