An eastbound coal train CNAMCEB048 is "Walking on Water" as they cross the Mississippi River at Burlington. The Mississippi River crested on June 2nd at 24.48 feet. The crest was the 3rd highest crest on record with the record of 25.73 feet set in 2008. Most of the rail head was above the water around the Amtrak depot here, but one spot the cars were still kicking up a small wave. The dispatcher was also cancelling the temporary 5 mph slow order thru this area for all the trains since the water was going down. This coal train is working between Creston, IA, and Galesburg, IL, the next crew change point.
