King Street underpass at the transit hub
What's holding the active tracks in place? As they've removed the dome footings from the Victoria side of the underpass, and now what looks to be a surface dome footing from the Breithaupt side, I would imagine either you're leaving a lot of dirt in place to slope gently down from the active rail, under the underpass, to prevent any movement in those rails, or else you've put something to reinforce it in the ground (which will be broken after rails are moved).

Looking at it though, at this point, the rail bridge is structurally sound. Put a pair of switch tracks on either side, rails over the bridge, and you could take that old section out without much work, I would think.
