Both of these structures are carring swollen rivers under the railway. The tunnel, known as the Cavalry Tunnel or the 40-Acre Tunnel, used to provide a pedestrian route across Hounslow Heath under the extensive [former] marshalling yards (which may be re-utilised as part of the Aitrack scheme). It's a substantial brick-lined tunnel, about 250 yards long. Given that it's predicted it could take up to four weeks to repair the failed bridge, I suspect it's the tunnel which has collapsed.
