RE: (erielack) FW: Flooding at Del Water Gap station

["Philip Martin" <martinpl3_@_earthlink.net>]

That, or lay tracks on Route 80, to get around that spot.  What did the
Lackawanna do when this occurred?  Go out of business until the water
exceeded?  Diesels can't go through water more than a few inches over the
rail.  Steamers could get through higher water.
