[quote user="Los Angeles Rams Guy"] <p>Just read in the Minneapolis Star Tribune about flooding in SE Minnesota again; this time Houston County to be exact and also in NE Iowa in Allamakee County with the Upper Iowa River as well which leads me to believe that parts of the ICE mainline have been hit. The Root River runs into the Mississippi just south of La Crescent and the Upper Iowa does the same just south of New Albin. Anyone know for sure?</p><p>Wow, hard to believe that the former CNW portion of the "Overland Route" got hit in two places in western Iowa not to mention the IAIS near Anita as well. Jeff/Brian, any chance at all that the UP (or others) might detour over all or parts of the CN's Iowa Division if this stuff keeps up? </p><p>I remember '93 well as I was living in Coralville and my graduation from the U of Iowa that summer was flooded out. Oh well, I still did manage to get my piece of paper in the mail. <span class="smiley">[:)]</span> </p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>What about the old CB&Q through southern Iowa? Could they detour over that?</p>
