Overhead views of Freight Train taken at 1,700 cfs with sparkling emerald water.

The changes to the rapid are apparent at its crux: there's a big new fan rock right on the former line into the Bomb Shelter (which is now changed) and a new rock poking up below the Bomb Shelter. It's more congested and more consequential ro run.

It looks like a really tough one for rafts. It's hard even for kayaks to get far left at this flow. The kayak sneak on the right looks better at 1,700 cfs than at 2,700 cfs (see 1/18/25 trip report photos), but still has little margin for error.

Going to take some figuring out...I think many will portage and some may run new routes or possibly a crazy line right into the rocky mank (maybe unintentionally by someone who doesn't read this).

Definitely scout from river level and whatever you do, don't swim into Freight Train from Last Chance.
