Re: Debris falls from #7 train, again, and again

Just to last as long as it did is a testament to how things were (over) built back then. When you stop and think on how construction is done nowadays, back then building box girder elevated lines, which are essentially a series of bridges, all calculations & measurements with allowances for stress & seasonal expantion/contraction were figured out by men gifted with mathematical skills along with the worlds first analog computer...the slide rule. Truly amazing.
Let us not forget #2 lead pencils & legal pads!
