Western Railroad Discussion > Another Hard Day For Photography On The BNSF

Today started out a foggy 34 degrees and stayed dark and overcast to 48 degrees in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub. Not the best day to take pictures with the bad lighting, but I tried. There was MOW working around CP Keystone and traffic was so-so today. Here are some of the trains that rolled by the backyard today.

1. WB 916am manifest train in the fog with BNSF 4419 and warbonnet 247 on the point.
2. WB 929am coal train in the fog with BNSF 5645-4648 and green and cream ???? on the pull with DPU. It was hard to see anything, had to scan picture.
3. DPU Citibank 1327 on same train.

FYI: NS 6981 hasn't been out of the Juniata Shops that long.....was rebuilt from a SD60. I'm not sure what number they are up too now.

It certainly got out west quick. Maybe the 6981 will head your way soon, have a nice Thanksgiving ns1000.

Nice shots for a cloudy day! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Fog shots turned out good---something we don't get to practice camera setting with around her very often. Have a nice Thanksgiving.

This was the Havre-Pasco. I caught it arriving East-2 in Pasco at about 4pm just as the fog obliterated the scene.
