Western Railroad Discussion > Back To HOT In The Upper Columbia Basin

Another heat wave has hit Ritzville, WA and the West Coast on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 97-58. Traffic was a bit slow today but interesting. I did miss two trains, one had a Frisco Heritage car and also another Frisco heritage go thru on an earlier train. Here's what I've been able to catch today.

1. EB 1026am garbage train with BNSF 4306-6179 on the point with a friendly wave from the conductor.
2. EB 1233pm manifest train with NS 9372-2706 on the pull with friendly wave from the crew and nice sounding 5-chime.
3. Another power shot of same train.

5. The End of same train fading away from Bauman Rd., Ritzville towards CP W. Tokio.
6. EB 141pm manifest train with BNSF 8137, CSX 693, Warbonnet 771 and BNSF 5227 on the pull at Bauman Rd. with friendly toot-toots from the hogger.

That's it for this Hot quiet day, but flood gates will open for the evening rush. Hope everyone has a great evening and tomorrow! Thanks so much for taking the time to look!

Larry,

If you had stayed up late, you would have seen a few NS, a CSX and FXE on trains that went by you at night...   Oh well, maybe on the return trip..
