View from my office.
Author: hank

Flood of June 2008.  Eastbound on BNSF main one at Ft. Madison, Iowa as the Mississippi river is well above flood stage.  We start at west Ft. Madison MP236 to about MP 233 passing the yard and depot there.  Flood water covered the rails for most of the way to about MP 221.

Thanks for viewing.

All the while praying there isn't an unseen washout under the tracks...
