1936 floods

[NW Mailing List]

May 22, 2009

Good afternoon, all:

Three Railway Express Agency delayed service and embargo notices appear at http://www.railwaymailservicelibrary.org/ebay/flood'36.pdf  It appears that the flood damage was extensive over a very large geographic area during mid-March 1936.  This is too early for hurricane season.  It is also too late for a fast thaw of accumulated snow.  Does anyone have information why the N&W Shenandoah Division as far north as White Post was affected?

Thank you,

Frank
