Omg this is so nostalgic… just looking at the streetviews…
This was basically what “my world” looked like when my family first immigrated to the US…

At some point that was probably above ground. The reason many cities have these section not aligned is because they were aligned to the train tracks, not to a compass.

So you’re saying that they were on the ground, but then they took it apart and built the little “bridge” thing so now it’s above the street?

There was most likely an older train line there. Then it was ripped up and rebuilt on the bridge for local train traffic.
