That is a major commuter line. About 60 incoming and 60 outgoing trains use that bridge daily. Each carrying hundreds of passengers.
Fortunately rail traffic was halted in time. Since a bridge strike moved that bridge (that was obviously too low) and broke rails.
It is not a real railroad only when one is naysaying emotionally.
Standard for bridges is 14 feet. For some reason, the emotional would waste $trillions for 20 years on a Mission Accomplished war (that had no purpose) rather than fix infrastructure. While denying the problem.
