For anyone outside the UK, the bridge in the picture is carrying the West Coast Mainline (WCML).
The UK basically has two major routes between Edinburgh and Glasgow (where most people live in Scotland) and London, the East Coast Mainline and the West Coast Mainline. They also connect several major cities and regions.
The person who posted this basically claimed that a bridge on one of the UK’s busiest intercity rail routes had started to collapse, which is not something you say lightly. It’s like saying all of New York’s airports had shut down because of three co-incidental sinkholes.
