edit: Good lord, they really did throw everything they had at it.

To repair the railway infrastructure, CP crews:
Moved 150,000 cubic yards of material to rebuild the damaged areas, equivalent to 10,000 tandem dump truck loads or 30,000 one-ton dump truck loads of earth, riprap (rock) and other construction material

From today. Wow. https://www.flickr.com/photos/tranbc...n/photostream/
