For years, members of the tiny preservation society — their ages now ranging from 60s to 80s — have flown out in helicopters, landing on the caisson.

Carolla visited a construction site on the beach that was installing 30 caissons six stories deep into the ground.

In 2021, workers started drilling underground through two major railway systems—the Metro-North Railroad and the Long Island Rail Road—and installing caissons 100 feet into the bedrock.

Eyer’s body in a flag-draped coffin was brought from police headquarters on a horse-drawn caisson three blocks to the church where the late evangelist Billy Graham held his first crusade.

The service is also getting lighter-weight caissons and conducting more extensive training for the soldiers to ride and take care of the horses.
