Over on Railroads Forum board, report was water was up to the boiler on the steam locomotive, the engine shed and surrounding area was flooded. BNSF track across the flat there at Chehalis was under water, the ex-Milwaukee line out by Adna is partially washed out, Milwaukee through Chehalis under water. Large areas of both Chehalis and Centralia are flooded. I-5 remains closed, and will for at least another day or two. Another report was that BNSF was dumping rock around Chehalis (50+ car rock train diverted from a project up by Everett).
All in all, a mess!
