This is a threatened collapse by a building above the tracks.

Hole opens in NYC garage above Amtrak tracks, leading to service shutdown

A gaping hole has opened up inside a Manhattan parking garage that sits directly above an underground Amtrak line, leading to the suspension of service between New York City and Albany.

The owner of a car parked at the privately owned Hudson View Garage on West 51st Street between 10th and 11th avenues shared a photo showing the wide chasm in the concrete floor, offering an unsettling peek at the tracks below, reported the station ABC 7 NY.

To make matters even worse, the parking garage is located on the first floor of a high-rise apartment building.
