Landslide collapses road in Baltimore.

      One lane of the East 26th Street between North Charles and St. Paul streets collapsed about 4 p.m. and slid down an embankment leading to the tracks below. The cause of the collapse was unclear, but it came on a day that the region was  experiencing heavy rainstorms.
Several streets were closed late Wednesday afternoon. St. Paul and Charles are major thoroughfares that are generally crowded during both the morning and evening commutes. The neighborhood is largely residential rowhouses. Traffic was reported to be snarled in the area of the collapse and downtown.
   Brennan said no houses were damaged, but fire officials said many residents living along East 26th Street were ordered to leave until building inspectors can assess their properties.
Photographs show a wide area of destruction in what appears to have been a landslide. The railroad tracks are covered with water, dirt and more than a half-dozen cars that went down the embankment. Baltimore officials said CSX has suspended rail service through the city.
   
         අයහපත් කාලගුණය හේතුවෙන් ඇති වූ නායයාමකින් මෝටර් රථ රැසක් පො‍ළොවේ පස්වලට යට වී යන ආකාරය දැක්වෙන සජීවී රූගත කිරීමක් අමෙරිකාවෙන් වාර්තා වේ.
එය සිදුව ඇත්තේ, අමෙරිකාවේ මේරිලන්ඩ් ප්‍රාන්තයේ බැල්ටිමෝර් නගරය ආසන්නයේදී ය.
එම මෝටර් රථ නායයාමෙන් පසු ප්‍රපාතයකට ඇද වැටී තිබේ.
