Western Railroad Discussion > One Last Abbeviated Day

It was a warm partly cloudy humid day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 82- 53. Today was the last day of moving activities with my neighbor. Hopefully will have more time trackside, lol. Here is another abbreviated documentation of trains that rolled thru the backyard last evening and today. Train movement was busy all through the night and I missed several today.

1. WB 718pm grain train with BNSF 7114-5131 on the point with DPU.
2. WB 734 pm grain train with BNSF 4496-5309 on the pull with DPU.
3. WB 800pm grain train with BNSF 4963-5673-7916 on the point.

Nice photos.

Well, at least it wasn't downpouring rain.  I like to watch switching moves, although they aren't as graceful and orchestrated as they were years ago--from your later photos, looks like they pulled one of the red-colored gons.
