Work pics....
1000' of railroad track got washed out in a massive flash flood last night near Woodside, UT.
There was also a huge rock slide on the Cane Creek branch, heading into Moab. Pretty crazy weather and flooding last night.

The train has a LOT of mass. I bet that rock is pretty pulverized if a train hit it at speed but there'd have to be some SIGNIFICANT damage to the locomotive and a few cars down? Likely cause a derailment?

This monsoon season has been nuts around here.
I’ve always wondered how these big damaged tracks are found? I assume it’s not a train hauling cargo, as it probably wouldn’t have time to stop? Do people just drive all the routes after major weather events but before another load is hauled on those tracks?

It's been a nasty summer so far!

There are track inspectors that go over the track in hyrail pickups on a scheduled basis, depending on needs and train traffic.
In addition to that there are also slide fences next to the track (in areas known to have issues), when wires are broken, the detector send out an alert over the company radio system and anyone with a company radio nearby can hear them.
Often times when dispatchers hear of a possible problem on the track and there is a train operating nearby, they will instruct them to slow down to 10 MPH and make certain they can stop within half the distance seen to be clear.
