Reply to "Unfortunate Train Derailment in Tempe, AZ"

Update:  This morning a little ofter 8 am, demolition crews did a controlled blast to remove the damaged portion just north of the span that collapsed.  Trying to find details, but it sounds like the UP will replace the two demolished sections and leave the rest of the bridge intact.  It is good new that most of the iconic structure will remain.  It will be interesting to see what the replace the spans with, but as Tom stated above, I suspect it will most likely be pre or post tensioned concrete.
