This is what can happen when you get too much snow on the plains. Winter of '96. Spring of '97.

The Red River can be a beeatchh.

Floods are terrible, right up there with forest fires. I feel sorry for anyone that has had to deal with either.

And last but not least. We had this cleaned up and rebuilt within months by everyone pitching in and doing it together.

Guessing this is not the red river that forms the OK/TX border. If it is I must have not been paying attention in the late 90's.

No sir. This is the Red River that divides a portion of the border of ND and MN. One of the few rivers that runs north. It dumps into Lake Winnipeg in Canada.

I remember that very well, was living in Winnipeg at the time. Was flying into Winnipeg on day as the plane turned south over the City all you could see was water all the way to the border.

Is that pickup truck in the first pic highrail equipped , it appears to be on a railroad track.

CN placed loaded ballast cars on the Bridges south at Morris and East on the Reddit Sub, to help prevent failure.

Where was the cut that blew in that bad. Would have liked to see the rotary plow that opened that track.

That winter there was a blizzard every Thursday for quite a stretch of time. It was crazy.
