We have an old railtrack run through the middle of the farm, the tracks themselves got ripped up in the late 90s... trackbed is now used as a snowmobile trail in the winter and a walking path in the summer. Anyway, the old tracks cross a coulee about a mile and a bit northwest of my house, and the culverts froze this year (2 eight foot ones iirc), it's not the first time they have frozen, but the water has never got this high...

Anyway, it now looks like the trackbed will give way at some point in the near future, i'm sure glad i live upstream...

That's not good.

They need to repair it - and they will repair it always money available for such stuff - they. Eyed to leave a low dip so flood waters can go over, not through it in the future.

Got to remember it is not a dam, just an old railroad bed that just happens to have high water on one side.
 
Why don't they start digging a ditch around one end so that it can start to drain before the railbed lets go? Instead of just sitting there "OMG it's gonna blow!!!".
 
Is there some underlying issue we don't know about that is keeping the culverts from being steamed to get the water flow started? :?:

Yes, Everybody that they try to send down there to get down on the low outlet side of the eight foot culvert with 10,000 acre feet of water behind it to give it the steam quits.
