So far the switch engine is able to. plow her way through the turbulent flood and can stand at least one more foot before her fires would be extin- guished. The passenger train was stepped at Eleventh street last night and started from there this morning. This is done more for safety than from any other consideration, as the switch engine could handle the trains across the waters, bat in the event of a mishap every thing would be blocked. The round house is com- pletely flooded, from three to ei inches of water permeating the entire structure, The road engines so far are taken to the turn table, and are headed around, though they pass through twenty inches of water, The table is completely under water, aod [the men who work it, clad in their ‘| floor of the PT S OCK ANDS or ~~ orage Co.
