If I recall, there were RR cars placed on the RR bridge during the Cedar Rapids Ia. flood this summer. When the bridge failed, there were some shots of the cars going into the river. Does anyone know the fate of the cars and how far down river they may have gone? Thanks

The cars were just very recently all removed. When they went off the bridge they created a sort of dam in the river that was causing problems. Since the hoppers were full of rocks they were difficult to remove.

Oh, I'll get them. Today my supervisor made the mistake of telling me I've never taken any sick days this year. Hmmm. I've got chills running down my spine, I'm getting goose bumps, my right index finger is developing a twitch, and I'm slightly drooling at the mouth. Yup, I might be coming down with a bad case of Foamer Fever! Only one cure for that.
