Photo 8. Looking north along the pile wall south end. There is fresh cracking behind the pile wall at the SE (uphill) end, and a new crack extending back from the wall near the rail crossing. There is also some loss of material behind the wall near the rail crossing.

Photo 9. Spalling of the parging between the piles has worsened since 2010 with several sections having fallen out with an associated small amount of soil loss where the parging has spalled.

Photo 11. Tension cracks are visible at surface indicating continued slide movement below the pile wall.
