Western Railroad Discussion > Some Of Today's Traffic On The BNSF

Today was another overcast day but without the Pea Soup fog in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high of 39 and a low of 30. The sun did make an appearance after 330pm for a bit. Today with the overcast, it was a backyard day for pictures. There was lots of Orange today with a few surprises. Here are some of the trains that rolled thru the backyard today.

1. EB 902am manifest train with BNSF 6965 and Citirail 1344 on the point with DPU.
2. Citirail 1344.
3. DPU BNSF 6957 on same train.

Love that variety...I think you get more of it than we do farther west.

The eastbound manifest with the large mix of power was the H-PASLAU. I was given a heads up about it just after I got off my own train, and managed to snag a few photos.

Thanks Brian and Ronda! I'm glad you were able to snag that consist Ted. I wish I could have had a better angle on my picture, so they could look like your pictures, LOL. I had to chop it up into several pictures with such a variety of power.
