Western Railroad Discussion > A Day's Reprieve From The Rain On The BNSF

It was a partly cloudy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 54/38. It was nice to have a dry day for a change. Traffic was steady with a minor lull here and there. Here are the catches from today and a few from yesterday.
