Western Railroad Discussion > A cool Sunny Day In The Upper Columbia Basin

Today was a sunny cool day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 47-21. Traffic was sketchy today with gaps between trains. There was a bevy of heavy traffic all night which probably contained all the good stuff to photograph, LOL. Here are some of the trains that passed thru the backyard today and late yesterday afternoon.

1. Nice looking new GATX boxcar rolling EB in a 412pm manifest train.
2. WB 424pm yesterday grain train with BNSF 6534-4446 on the point with DPU.
3. BNSF 482825 a Colorado and Southern heritage hopper that has been tagged with graffiti.
