Still waiting to see a train cross the scorched track section. It is such a propaganda opportunity, I would expect it to be prominent, like the rushed out video showing all the cars fleeing Crimea on the one road carriageway. lol straight into the arms of the draft.
That upper rail section will be in a seriously dangerous state, and when the first rain gets in there will be additional corrosion. Then there will be the chemistry in the concrete from those high temperatures, contamination from carbon and acid reaction and god know what else. Micro fractures galore and rapid lattice dislocation.
And then, frost. All those micro fractures with expanding ice. Ice can decimate concrete structures very easily. I bet ya that upper section will come crashing down before the years out.
