That looks like a very low-clearance bridge; the street undercrossing under the red girder section looks no more than 11 feet.  This must be the portion of the old NYC main line that was raised in the '30's -- not totally surprising that after 80-odd years, concrete segments are failing.

My grandmother standing next to the tracks in the 1930's. I'm not sure if it's that corner though. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JQ2DRAKFVXmfAq277
