MoW: Repairing track washed out by a flood

Byron Willcutt posted 22 photos of track repair with the comment: "Flooding on the Thayer Sub Hoxie AR today 5/5/17. Tons of equipment and contractors." Below are some photos from that posting.

This is the BNSF outage map I found when I studied the outage near Jerome, MO. Note that Hoxie, AR  was not even  marked at risk when that map was made.

Looking at a map, Hoxie is about five miles east of the Black River. So I think we are looking at flooded farm fields in the background.
