The Ashfield East Train Station also suffered from major damages, a derailed train made one of the platforms to collapse. Luckily most of these damages were repaired and the building was restored to its former glory. A large warehouse on the waterfront under I-40 collapsed due to debris from the collapsed bridge. This warehouse was going under reservations at the time to become a food market, later this market was moved to another warehouse on the waterfront. | The Ashfield East Train Station also suffered from major damages, a derailed train made one of the platforms to collapse.

'''Downtown | Delrey was close to the epicenter. Due to the earthquake most of interstate I-40 collapsed, blocking any acces in and out of Delrey to Glenview and Ashfield.Delrey consisted of mostly delapitated and abandoned structures that wouldn't have seen any maintenance in years. Due to this, atleast half of the brick built structures in this area either partly collapsed or did so completely. Delrey was also infamous for its homeless population, and alot of the people there at the time got trapped under debris. Newer structures like the Delrey Municipal Court barely saw any damage. | ||
'''Financial District''' | |||
Downtown, while not being the epicenter still saw major damages. the bridge between Ashfield and Greenfield partly collapsed, blocking acces to both I-40 and the esplanade. The parking garage for the aquarium collapsed, but luckily the aquarium building saw minimal damage. Mutliple old brick warehouse in the North of Market district collapsed, and the Greenfield library saw major damages to the roof. | |||
A 24 story tower was under construction in the financial district on the location of the Greencast Energy Center, The building was at 9 stories at the time. In the initial quake a crane fell onto the road, but the whole building came down in the first aftershock. Luckily noone was at the site when it collapsed. | |||
The former 30 story Bank Of Despair tower built in 1971 saw major damages to the first 4 stories due to the construction site collapse. The whole building was evacuated, and most people got out in time, however 11 hours after the original quake another large aftershock hit, this caused the entire northern facade to collapse, taking the rest of the building with it. The collapse also caused a 5 story office building, the brighter days ahead building to collapse. This collapse was the largest and costliest in the city, 23 lives were taken, and cleanup efforts would take weeks. A 7 story parking structure now stands in its place. | |||
Buildings around the former Bank Of Despair tower suffered major damages, but most were able to be fixed TBD | |||
