    Wow, that for sure is a washout. Interesting that the sandbags along the rails that weren't disturbed might have saved them? :tb-sad:

    Oh Man, that looks just like when the Hoosick River did the same number on the B&M's eastbound tracks between Hoosick Falls and Hoosick, NY in March of '50. The power of "a little bit of water" is amazing, as this 15 year old found out while playing monkey from tree limb to tree limb above it......D U M B !!!!!
    But I did survive, amazingly. :tb-ooh:
