True. If I recall, it is around 1/4 mile long, and the fill was washed into neighboring fields. The EBT then had to have bulldozers push it back up onto the right-of-way, burying the rails in the process. That section will need to be regraded and rebuilt. Fortunately, nothing that bad has happened between Orbisonia and Saltillo, except for a few small washouts and encroachments on the ROW. Several new homes may not be excited to discover that trains may run within a few yards of their houses one day!!!
