Lumber Train Creeps Over Submerged Tracks!

Warped rails and hard weather are conditions that many train crews have to prepare for on a day to day basis.

This lumber train was in for a surprise when its track was flooded near completely by the melting snow, submerging the track completely in most areas! The engineer proceeds on this devastated track, seemingly used to these sort of conditions.

Making the scenario even more problematic, the flooding caused areas of the track to washout beneath the rails, causing the train to lean on the track at angles that could cause it to derail!

Have you seen a set of tracks in worse shape than these? We’d love to hear about them!
