[William Ewinger <b_ewinger@yahoo.com>]

HI ALL
   
  there have not been any trains trough burlington since some time last 
night.main street and thrid street crossing are still above water but main 
street is closed from elm street to valley street do to the flooding steam 
engine is in more then a foot of water right now.the entrie yards now are flood 
with the deeper water at the main street end.it appears by looking at the 
railroad bridge that there is about 24" clearence between the river and the 
bottom of the beams.no boat pf any type would now clear under the 
bridge,cureent river stage is 23.71 and the crest will be at 25.8  7/10's of 
foot higher then 1993.
