The streetview map is wrong.
What is there is 9th street looking at the CSX viaduct with an abandoned track going under it.
It should be on I-95 looking towards the city on the southbound side. you should see the viaduct with a train sitting under it after having crossed the river.
Please change it. Thank you.
