Western Railroad Discussion > Soggy Saturday On The BNSF!

Today was a very soggy Saturday in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 41-35 with near a half inch of rain and still raining. Not a good day for picture taking, but I tried. Here are some of the trains that sloshed thru the backyard today.

1. WB 813am coal train with BNSF 6270-9391, green and cream 9454 on the point with DPU.
2. Another picture of G&C 9454.
3. DPU BNSF 6424.

Been wet alright. That Roberts Bank Coal train with the BNSF gevo, mac and Citirail ES44AC almost had me considering railfanning. But then something came up and I forgot about it. It proved to be a slow day anyways, so I didn't miss anything.
