Basically, around that time, if you ingested the water in any way, it had a real chance of either incapacitating you or just killing you outright.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 The place where I lived had a flood just like that too. It also got into cow fields, so cow crap was in the water too. We were not allowed to drink or swim in the lake.

@@kensmilepachi3313 Tracks are built on the ground normally. A lot of base strata work is done to increase the density and longevity of the rail bed. Sometimes short piers are put into this process where the ground is just not acceptable even with the bed work. But, when you are basically building a serial bridge - raised track. You build deep piers and girder the rail bed - this is a magnitude more resistant to anything nature can throw at it. It is much more costly but actually builds a bit faster, laying bed takes time because there are so many layers. Building a bridge is piers beams girders and supports and you are done. So, when you have an area like this one that sees a "wash" from seasonal rains, you want that track up off of the ground. It cost a lot more to build, but you only build it once. A conventional track bed would have to be rebuilt the entire affected length every year and over the long term, that is a lot more expensive.
Some places have dirt so hard, compacted and lifeless that you can rap your knuckles on the surface and it sounds like your tapping ceramic. This is where small, frequent rainwater harvesting earthworks from onsite materials starting in the foothills/ higher areas would improve the soils and available groundwater. It would reduce catastrophic lowland flooding while increasing water supply over a longer period. That video shows a lot of water that runs off carrying good soil and materials, while the rest evaporates off instead of absorbing deeply into the soil...
It's in a flat arid area in an area subject to inundation that flows inland. The area is vast, subject to decaying tropical cyclones which over geological time have shaped the continent. This is the cycle of life. It might not flood like this for 70 years then it will flood like this every year for 10. After the floods the desert comes to life.
@ThePaulv12 You're totally missing the point of my statement. Maybe I failed to explain enough. The ground is very hard. Because it's so very compacted, little water permeates. Maybe as little as half an inch or maybe less. It may be the plants are rooting in fresh sedimentary deposits only, because the soil is so poor. Starting in any foothills with rainwater harvesting catchments made from onsite materials and continuing into the valley can transform this land's rain cycles, and plant diversity. Increasing rain harvesting will promote regreening that will restore the area to more regular, balanced hydrology. It will also recapture valuable soil and raise water tables in the area...

I witnessed the great flood of Central Georgia firsthand in 1994. Saw one guy sitting on the steps of a soon to be flooded bank watching the water come up the steps. A one foot rise per hour. He gave up when the water finally reached the front doors.
This crossing is located in central Queensland. Summer temperatures around 40 degrees C and winter 25 degrees C. There are two chances that it will ever freeze over - zero and none.

Just a small one. John Oxley exploring the Ipswich region in 1824 said: "the starboard bank an elevated flat of rich land, declining to a point where had evidently by its sandy shore and pebbly surface, been at some time washed by an inundation; a flood would be too weak an expression to use for a collection of water rising to the full height (full fifty feet) which the appearance of the shore here renders possible." In 1825; "Major Edmund Lockyer mentioned the evidence of a large flood while in the area of today's Mount Crosby pumping station - "marks of drift grass and pieces of wood washed up on the sides of the banks and up into the branches of the trees, marked the flood to rise here of one hundred feet". Floods, droughts, fires or cyclones, we don't muck about.
crazy to think: the railway did not get covered up by the water all simultaneously, so it's therefore not flat. Crazy to think how uneven it actually is yet still works
@@wtbman of course. I just think it's a remarkable feat of engineering, to think that a train weighing who knows how many tonnes travelling at the speeds it does (for a whole bunch of total kinetic energy) still does not derail on a track that isn't quite perfectly aligned for it. Amazing.

The marvels of Man are nothing more than a dying candle to time and nature
I was hoping to see what the tracks looked like after.
0:56 The cameraguy was sitting there like 😬: "Gettin pretty high, guys! Is this enough footage yet?!"
hahaha
@Va Sr apparently quite a lot which you can see on the camera. I think he had lots of coffee. 😆
I think it’s a security camera though
r/wooosh myself 😂

I witnessed the great flood of Central Georgia firsthand in 1994. Saw one guy sitting on the steps of a soon to be flooded bank watching the water come up the steps. A one foot rise per hour. He gave up when the water finally reached the front doors.
This was a “swell” video!
At 0:29 it kinda looks like something out of a classic "Thomas & Friends" episode.
So I’m guessing if that river froze to ice, it could create a polar express train ride feeling!
This took place in Jan/Feb '19. It's summertime down there. But, yeah, otherwise that would've been cool!
This crossing is located in central Queensland. Summer temperatures around 40 degrees C and winter 25 degrees C. There are two chances that it will ever freeze over - zero and none.
All gone ..
The Construction Engineer / Designer, "I'm confident that raising the tracks this high off the ground will take into account for any possible eventualities regarding water .."
How high's the water, mama? She said it's 5 feet high and rising. How high's the water, papa? He said it's 5 feet high and rising.
Well the rails are washed out north a' town...we gotta head for higher ground...can't come back 'til the water goes down...
What are those lights at night? They disappear about 0:43
Rain drops!
Plot twist: Everything you are seeing is happening upside down.
but it was upside down so does that mean that it's right side up now?
I'm so confused lol
@@raven4k998 no it’s still upside down. the gravity is reduced from the way it hangs off the earth like a drop of water on a shower rod…that’s why the floods are so bad.
@@JoeOvercoat no it is upside down to begin with cause you are walking around on the outside of a sphere kiddo so if it is flipped then it is right side up
@@raven4k998 OMG there is NO AIR OUTSIDE THE SPHERE GET IN HERE!|
@@JoeOvercoat there is air in here come close and cuddle we can share my air baby
I think this is why they call it "The Wet" in Australia.
Should have shown a photo of the aftermath of that storm to that area, taken from the exact same spot.
Still need to show it. I have no idea what hapoens there.
"Ethel, I told you to pull the drain plug when you got out a the tub! Now you've done gone and flooded the neighborhood so bad even the trains can't get through!"
Somebody just needs to shout up to the sky, "WHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Just a small one. John Oxley exploring the Ipswich region in 1824 said: "the starboard bank an elevated flat of rich land, declining to a point where had evidently by its sandy shore and pebbly surface, been at some time washed by an inundation; a flood would be too weak an expression to use for a collection of water rising to the full height (full fifty feet) which the appearance of the shore here renders possible."
In 1825; "Major Edmund Lockyer mentioned the evidence of a large flood while in the area of today's Mount Crosby pumping station - "marks of drift grass and pieces of wood washed up on the sides of the banks and up into the branches of the trees, marked the flood to rise here of one hundred feet".
Floods, droughts, fires or cyclones, we don't muck about.
crazy to think: the railway did not get covered up by the water all simultaneously, so it's therefore not flat. Crazy to think how uneven it actually is yet still works
Have you never seen a train go though a mountain pass? The tracks follow the landscape, up and down slopes (within reason). The earth is not flat :-)
@@wtbman of course. I just think it's a remarkable feat of engineering, to think that a train weighing who knows how many tonnes travelling at the speeds it does (for a whole bunch of total kinetic energy) still does not derail on a track that isn't quite perfectly aligned for it. Amazing.
That's awesome footage.....amazing
Is this where they shot that train scene in Spirited Away?
Props to the camera man holding her steady 👏
