[quote user="dehusman"]The flood stage is measured relative to a point somewhere along the stream. Based on the previous discussion the point was not AT the RR bridge. Just because the water is high there at the measuring station, doesn't necessarily mean it floods every bridge.[/quote] To your last sentence I agree. I try to understand the sense of a rule whose definition lies in the hand of the railroad. Regarding the first two sentences: One gage is 10 miles upstream of the accident location, the next 40 miles downstream. So you can interpolate. See the links to these two gauges I provided earlier. Here is the link to the Sheriff Office video: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Sioux.County.Sheriff/videos/1782149598499719/">https://www.facebook.com/Sioux.County.Sheriff/videos/1782149598499719/</a> At 19:35 is a view of the river crossing. The video was posted at 7:34 am on June 22, 2018, only few hours after the accident. A bridge doesn't need to be flooded to get damaged in high water situations. I don't know, but isn't that a situation were one should consider to slow down. Regards, Volker
