Railroad reopens


With the Red River in Grand Forks and East Grand Forks cresting just a day earlier and already in descent, a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad crew works in an April snow storm to remove the dike closure protecting Grand Forks from floodwaters on Friday, April 15. The opening leads to the BNSF railroad bridge crossing the Red River and East Grand Forks, its rail entrance closed earlier this week as well. (John Stennes, Herald staff photographer)
