These new engines were seen crossing HWY 425, Tuesday, after the washed-out sections of track between Collins and Dermott, due to recent flooding, had been repaired.

The engines belong to a sister company of Arkansas Midland; Dallas, Garland, & Northeastern, based out of Texas. Both are subsidiaries of Genesee Wyoming Railroad.

The section of Meadowview Drive, commonly known as “Western Pines Dip” is now open for traffic, and is no longer a small spillway.

The change was made to improve drainage, as well as to reduce driver complaints.

AHTD  is working on shoulder and curb maintenance on Highway 425 S., this afternoon.

Please be aware,  as you’re traveling in that area, of the lane closure.

Simce we’ve spent so much of this week covering water, rain, and flooding; we might as well close the week out with these 2 unusual videos.

The videos include Thursday night’s broken water main, by a fire hudrant, shooting water into the middle of HWY 278 West.  The other shows a flooded sewer drain on East Shelton Street, pushing water up, through a manhole cover.
