I believe it happened twice. 1965 & 1969 at Winona Jct. (crossing with GB&W). There are photos in the files section of this group. Also Division Street in St. Paul was under water.

All- Does anyone have any details on the date or causes of the _NCL_ being re-routed off the Q and onto the MILW between the Twin Cities and Chicago? I believe there was some flooding on the Q's route along the Mississippi, which must have been in the 1968-9 period? I think I have two shots of the _NCL_ on the Milwaukee, one at Portage and the other in Milwaukee proper. The Portage shot shows what looks (to me) to be a Pullman sleeper bringing up the markers, so the observation car has been removed, which I think means a date after the spring of 1968? What would be nice to know is date of the wash-out, locale, and how long the Q was knocked out of service. (Was this this old CB&N route into the Twin Cities?) RSVP John Phillips Seattle __._,_.___
