    I have been scanning some old family photos lately, and have a few that might interest you. I have attached one for you to look at. I did a Google search and found your website. Let me know what you think. -

    Must have been some power in those floodwaters to wash that concrete out from under the tracks. Thanks for more historical photos, Roger.

    Amazing how powerful Mother Nature can be at times, to be able to do that kind of destruction with water!

    Boy, those last two are truly amazing, Roger. What power to cause that much destruction.

    Perhaps. The owner of the photos wasn't sure about that.
