Western Railroad Discussion > A Dark Cloudy Day ON The BNSF

Today was a dark cloudy day with a few drips in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub. Traffic was extremely light, maybe a problem somewhere on the line. Here a couple of trains from last evening and all the trains from 900am to 430pm today. Will include more California trip pictures from 2014 and 2012.
