The water did not reach the boiler. On-site reports from actual museum volunteers suggest the high water mark was at one foot at the back of the barn. (There is a grade in the barn, the front is higher). If this proves correct -- and I've heard it from two fellow museum folks by now -- then the 15 is probably safe from any damage. In fact, the only damage report I've seen for museum property is a small part of the deck on the depot being missing.
As for the line? Only time will tell. I've had some preliminary reports but its not appropriate for me to discuss them until we have a better handle on the situation.
