Cross Section of Takanawa Railroad Mound in 2021 October

Taken on the path to the low-ceilinged tunnel.

 

During the redevelopment of the area, a mound built for the first railroad in Japan was unearthed after Yamanote Line tracks were moved. This photo shows its cross section. It is interesting that several types of soil are piled up.

 

The piles lined up in front of the cross section do not look like late 19th century technology. Maybe they were used for excavation work.
