Trains delayed after Ardmore washout floods bridges
A cloudburst near Ardmore Friday night June 11 washed out several railroad bridges. All trains Saturday were late with the first arriving Alliance at 4 pm Sunday. The Alliance division crew repaired temporarily through Saturday night. Eastbound passengers were moved to the opposite side of the washout. The 26 foot gap will need dirt and time for a permanent fix as county bridges above contributed to the damage.
