Western Railroad Discussion > Flooding on the BNSF Angora Sub, Front Range update als

For you out there, that might not know where the Angora Sub is The Angora sub is the Sub that runs south out of Alliance Nebraska. The Valley Sub comes off the Angora sub at Northport Nebraska,which is about 2 to3 miles north of Bridgeport. Just heard for a person in Alliance Nebraska . that at Bridgeport Nebraska the water was running about 3 foot over the track.They just started running trains out of Sterling Colorado at 6 last night now they shut it down today. Also a friend of mine was checking out MP52 on the front range sub and it will be awhile before trains are running north past Longmont.

Now how did THAT happen. You wouldn't think it would, given all the control dams and lakes on the North Platte River west of there. Was there some unusually heavy rainfall west and north of Bridgeport? === === = === JLH

From my understanding is it as been raining hard since early yesterday. I think the storm was like hit Colorado,coming in from the east(that is my take on the matter).Down stream from both Glendo and Guernsey reservoirs. Heard they had trains stalling on Crawford hill today also
