Western Railroad Discussion > A Busy Day For A Change with A bit Of Variety On The BNSF

Today started out drippy and then went to sunshine in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 45/33 and .11 of drips. The snow has melted fast and a new storm for tomorrow. Traffic woke up with a bang last evening after two days of near zero traffic due to weather problems. Today was busy with a bit of variety. Here are my catches of the day.

1. WB 952am coal train with BNSF 9253-5617 and green and cream 9739 on the point with DPU.
2. Another shot of green and cream 9739 on same train.
3. DPU BNSF 6263 on same train.
