Jason,

Interesting pic. There's a lot more of that overseas, we always like to think of ourselves as the land of wide open spaces, but I guess Texas is starting to get crowded...

Jason:    Thanks for the photo. I had to do something like that when I suddenly discovered a wall in the middle of my industrial area. There was no room for a hill,or any natural sort of view block,and the overpass I tried didn't look right,so I ended up with this.

Here's the back side (still under construction).

All model railroading requires a little pretending,so let's all pretend we don't see that "extra" hole on the left...

Not at all uncommon in the industrial belt during the transition era and before.

In Noo Yawk City, the elevated would rather abruptly transition to tunnel, frequently right under a multi-story brick tenement block (Old-fashioned iron fire escapes and all.)  I don't doubt that there were places in the Metropolitan Area where Class 1s were equally unsubtle.
