From La Crosse, WI

Image 1 is the CP looking east toward Onalaska. Medary siding is under water. La Crosse River bridge (cause) is the second bridge near the back. Image 2 is the BNSF looking south again the La Crosse River is distant. Foreground bridge normally has a bit of standing water, entire area should be dry hay fields. Major and numerous washout on the BNSF Aurora, CN and CP Chicago lines (all closed). BNSF has been shuttling trains south of La Crosse and parking them.
