Burlington has RJ Corman here helping and have start repairing Yard. Ft.
Madison Depot flooded and Keokuk Depot as well. I am pretty sure Ottumwa Depot
probably flooded as well by the Des Moines River.

Bill,
LaCrosse is currently at 8.87. This would be no "action stage"
and essential means there is no flooding.
Largest "Historical Crest" was 17.90 on 04-22-1965. While I
can not prove that the 4000 should have been new moved from
Galesburg to LaCrosse and I can not see where it would have
gone both the Milwaukee and CB&Q above that level. Both the
4000 should be above the crest.
Winona is at 9.24. This would be a pretty much normal at this
time of average time of month. Largest "Historical Crest" was
20.77 on 04-19-1965. Everything here was flooded, including
both Winona and all trackage. Levee was done later after to
make that current crest and got the 20.07 04-17-2001 crest OK.

Thanks to Bill Ewinger & others for posting the info on the flood in
Burlington, IA. Hopefully the water will recede soon so that the
recovery can begin.
Are other CB&Q sites, depots, and/or equipment also flooded ?
#4000 in LaCrosse ?
The depot, freight house, & National Mississippi River Museum in
Dubuque ? Savanna ?
That nicely restored depot in Thomson, IL ?
Fort Madison's ATSF loco & depot museum and Q depot ?
Keokuk depot ?
Ottumwa depot & #3001 ?
Any place else with Q depots, equipment, etc. in Q territory being
flooded by the Mississippi or other bodies of water ?
Thanks in advance.
Bill H
