That’s not too bad - you can still see the rails! It’s when the train leaves a bow-wave that it’s properly flooded. 

I have once been on a DMU that braved 6 inches of floodwater above the rails and left a bow wave. It was all for nothing, the track dropped further and when the driver could see the platform surface was underwater at the next station, he stopped before he got completely stranded and went back to dry land!
