For non-rail experts the technical term for that train speed is "gingerly." One hopes that crossing was preceded by a railbed inspection truck. May your ballast remain true and silt-free CSXT and BNSF sure got a lot of free publicity out of what was nominally a CPKC operation. Yes, I understand that RRs swap locomotives routinely for efficiency. Congrats on the CP-KCS merger, BTW. You have built an impressive rail network spanning North America. FYI, the COER mark on at least one of the covered hoppers stands for the Crab Orchard and Egyptian Railroad, a short line in Southern Illinois with an interesting name.

6.21.2 Water Above Rail Do not operate trains and engines over tracks submerged in water until the track has been inspected and verified as safe. Operate engines at 5 MPH or less when water is above the top of the rail. If water is more than 3 inches above the top of the rail, a mechanical department supervisor must authorize the movement. Running locomotives with the water above the rail can result in damage to the traction motors by creating electrical short.

A couple of weeks ago, a CPKC train derailed up here in northern Maine due to a washout. I don't know if the track was inspected prior to the train going through or not. The locomotives ended up off the tracks, and a diesel fuel spill resulted. Latest news is the railroad is having difficulties repairing the washout because the ground is so saturated and muddy due to recent heavy rains, heavy equipment can't get to where it's needed. And although I'm not a railroader, it seems to me that just because an MOW vehicle that weighs maybe 1-2 tons was able to safely navigate the tracks through flood waters, doesn't mean three locomotives weighing 200 tons each plus the weight of the hopper cars can safely do it. It worked this time, but how long will that kind of luck last??
