  • On October 13 2018 the Mississippi River flooded somewhat in Davenport, Iowa and we went to try and see at least one train the through the waters and we where successful with that. And on the way home we saw some UP trains as well. Other people present, Runnin eight, atsf49, cnp204, and cnsd75i.

    If you look carefully, you can see the soundwaves from the train horn vibrating the water.

    We had our CATV fiber tech's ride on a ConRail engine on the fright line between Bound Brook, NJ to Manville yard when Floyd hit NJ, through a flooded field that was a little deeper then this too check cables exposed by the Raritan River flooding and reported by ConRail.

    Looks like the water also ruined the crossings. They're not even functioning now.

      The signal maintainer in CP truck on the left may have had the crossing signals turned off.

      Nope. Davenport Iowa. That's lock and dam 15 in the background. They raised the tracks in sections over the flood to ensure the trains could keep moving.
      The levee that was built was eroded and broke and flooded the whole downtown of Davenport that year.
      Some speculated the trains waves eroded it faster.
      Half way through the video is a pedestrian "sky" bridge that literally leads to no where.
