Gregg posted:Thanks tommy. not exactly what I had in mind for a quick fix.. but you may be right. do it right the first time. .. How would you marshal your train heading to the wash out to start the project.... American hoist..... material to construct copper dam.. There's no place to unload much of the material....
The water is slowly receding with no current flow from one side of the right of way to the other.
How would you start the project?? Anyone else.?
There is no quick fix.
I know you just can't dump in tons of gravel and hope that it will hold until a permanent fix could be done. Particularly when it's way out in the boonies with limited access, any MOW crew would want to go in only once and once only. You're talking about moving in a small army of men and equipment to repair this washout. Plus, I'm sure an inspection for the surrounding land and remaining roadbed would have to be made before anything moves in.
I'm sure any Engineering Department would get a good laugh out loud for any solution us model railroaders or railfans could conjure up.
