Have those tiles been there since original construction ?

No. The viaduct was completely rebuild between 1993 and 1997.

Yep. Shown here Between Lowery & Rawson sts.,right after the line's opening (@ 1917)is the viaduct with the original tiles. What was rebuilt was all internal, as in tracks, wiring, roadbed, sub ballast, waterproofing the top of the arches from the inside & the station platforms. The exterior was only sandblasted with minor patchwork (industrial strength DryLoc) with the tiles staying intact.

Almost completely. The "legs" of the arches were not replaced; new arches were built onto the original legs.
