Arizona flash flood - GIF

[Harvey Melvin Richards]

Your grandpa had been around those parts for a while!! Good thing...

On another note, when are these photos from? Looks like there had been a little cleanup done. Looks like there is whats left of one of those new vehicles of some kind is this pile or rubble, under the railroad wheels.

The flash flood happened July 15, the photos were taken a little over 3 weeks after that. There had been a lot of clean up, but little done to the train cars, other that the wheels removed. The locos were all set back on the tracks, but I’m sure they are significantly more valuable than the car carriers (even full) are.
