Our area has got a lot of rain this winter and February 17th, 2022, was one of those days when one of the winter storms dropped a lot of rain on the region over a 24-hour period. Here I caught an empty grain train, CSX G438, as it made its way past a flooded area around the house track at Earlington, Kentucky as it heads north on the Henderson Subdivision.

This is the western part of the earthen dam that is upstream of where the above flooding occured.

This CSX route had been an L&N route.

I wonder how high the water got above the spillway crest during this flood event.
