Overview of Underpasses
Description
A set of grade-separation underpasses was constructed in 1939 with the assistance of the United States Bureau of Public Roads. Two underpasses allow railroad traffic to span Denrock Ave.; one underpass brings Railroad St. (U.S. 87) under rail traffic.

Via Google maps today (2/28/2020) I looked for this and the area is under construction. This underpass has been demolished.
