They had heavy 4" plus rains north up the Little Sioux river valley a few days earlier.

If these trains operate between Council Bluffs and St Paul, the could “detour” on the spine line.

Poor report! Was a train on the bridge? Who found the defect? What kind of bridge/trestle is it? Has it been repaired?

I finally found more news in Omaha.com under news in Iowa with a picture. Yea the bridge is completely gone in 2 long spans. It could be a few days or weeks before they get that repaired.
