Are all of them cut off? There seem to be four, one north, two along the river, and one south. https://www.openrailwaymap.org/?style=standard&lat=49.346598848

  From https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bc-floods-rail-impact-1.6250554 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bc-floods-rail-impact-1.625... it looks like some lines are out and others remain to be inspected once things clear up. So maybe all, maybe not all, but enough to be a big problem. A dairy farmer in Abbotsford is quoted as having only 5 days of feed. Consider the economic damage if farmers have to kill livestock, and can't even get them to a meat packing facility to recoup any part of their losses.

  Two are cut - the washout is on the eastern-most line heading to Kamloops about halfway up from Chilliwack. That's the most direct rail line to the rest of Canada. Going through the US and via Spokane is quite a detour. Also not all rail lines are created equal. The northern-orientated line that heads to Prince George can't carry the same capacity.
