Western Railroad Discussion > A Cool but Interesting Day On The BNSF-BIG Blue 2027

It felt like a fall day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a breezy high-low of 58-34 with a few drips from the sky at times. At least the trains were a bit more interesting than yeasterday. I missed a few trains and there were a few gaps in traffic, always busy all night long. Here some of the trains that passed the backyard and beyond.

1. WB 909am ballast train with BNSF 8073-4998-2819-2923 on the point.
2. Another shot of BNSF 2819-2923.
3. WB 909am manifest train with BNSF 5020, NS 9372-7645 and BNSF 4088 on the pull.
