Western Railroad Discussion > Busy Day For A Tuesday On The BNSF

Today was a Blustery partly to mostly cloudy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 58-42. It was a very blustery day with a cold front passing thru making it hard to stand still when taking pictures. Here are some of the many trains that passed thru the backyard and beyond.

1. WB 907am coal train with BNSF 9251-9375-8599 on the point with all EMD's and a DPU.
2. Another shot of same EMD power.
