Western Railroad Discussion > Another MoW Day In The Upper Columbia Basin-2041

Today was a cloudy, cool and sometimes wet day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 67-53 and .31 of rain from thunderstorms, It was another MoW day with off and on traffic, but fairly light so far today.
