It was those hellspawn downpours the other night coupled with the temps shooting up into the mid-60's during the height of the storms causing a flash snowmelt in any areas where there was sufficient snow cover. NECR took the worst hit by far, all up and down the mainline.
I was told that NECR has suffered two washouts between Palmer and Willimantic, and at present, trains (normally 608) cannot operate on this section.
I have no idea how severe the washouts are, or how long it will take to repair. But this leaves the customers on the southern end of the line without service.
