History

Heritage listing

As at 23 June 2016, the flyover is a rare item in NSW, built of brick to take the northern line suburban electric trains over the other tracks to avoid conflicts of traffic movement. The underbridge is a major structure at a busy intersection and is a good example of this type of structure.[1]

The Strathfield rail underbridges were listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.[1]

The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.

This item is assessed as historically rare. This item is assessed as archaeologically rare. This item is assessed as socially rare.[1]

gollark: As a Go developer, you have surely encountered at some point something using the `container` package, containing things like `container/ring` (ring buffers), `container/list` (doubly linked list), and `container/heap` (heaps, somehow). You may also have noticed that use of these APIs requires `interface{}`uous type casting. As a Go developer you almost certainly do not care about the boilerplate, but know that this makes your code mildly slower, which you ARE to care about.
gollark: High demand for generics by programmers around the world is clear, due to the development of languages like Rust, which has highly generic generics, and is supported by Mozilla, a company. As people desire generics, the market *is* to provide them.
gollark: Hmm.
gollark: Interesting!
gollark: In languages such as Haskell, generics are extremely natural. `data Beeoid a b = Beeoid a | Metabeeoid (Beeoid b a) a | Hyperbeeoid a b a b` trivially defines a simple generic data type. It is only in the uncoolest of languages that this simplicity has been stripped away, with generic support artificially limited to a small subset of types, generally just arrays and similar structures. Thus, reject no generics, return to generalized, simple and good generics.
