Western Railroad Discussion > Today's Roundup and Some On The BNSF

It was a cool day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 57-38. Looks like rain tomorow. Traffic was steady until  up to the 121pm grainer, then a lull set in and still nothing close by at 404pm. Here are the catches of the day and a few from yesterday.
