[quote user="dehusman"]Euclid seems to think that the crew was clairvoyant and a mile or 2 before the location somehow knew there woud be high water there and should have slowed down before they got there.[/quote] As I said before, if the railroad didn't know of the danger something has gone wrong. There are gauges upstream and down stream of Doon in about 50 miles distance. The first peak upstream was about 16 hours before the accident, downstream 2 days after the upstream peak. Doon is about 10 miles from the upstream gauge. So from experience it was possible to predict a higher water level at the derailment site. Upstream gauge: <a href="https://natwebcaww01.wr.usgs.gov/nwisweb/data/img/USGS.06483290.44424.00060..20180620.20180626.log.0.p50.gif">https://natwebcaww01.wr.usgs.gov/nwisweb/data/img/USGS.06483290.44424.00060..20180620.20180626.log.0.p50.gif</a> Downstream gauge: <a href="https://natwebcaww01.wr.usgs.gov/nwisweb/data/img/USGS.06485500.233364.00065..20180620.20180626..0..gif">https://natwebcaww01.wr.usgs.gov/nwisweb/data/img/USGS.06485500.233364.00065..20180620.20180626..0..gif</a> Regards, Volker
