Western Railroad Discussion > Start Of a Hot Week In The Upper Columbia Basin On The BNSF

It became a HOT day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 91-58, with warmer days on the way, UGH! Today was steady after the morning work window. Here are some the consists from today and a few from yesterday. Grain was certainly the main stay of the afternoon trains.
