They have decided that if the culverts on the east side of Davenport wash out, in spite of the precautions that they took yesterday, it's too big a risk to the community so.... now they are using the big equipment to close down the drain completely. The water will reroute over land to the west side of the town.The Red River (?) railroad company has raised their tracks and removed not only the RR ties but the gravel under it so that it won't hinder the water from crossing the tracks. That was really nice of them, to help save the town of Davenport. I understand that the CP Railroad has temporarily discontinued their routes from St. Paul to Harvy, ND, because of the flooding in ND.
