Western Railroad Discussion > An Even Hotter Wednesday On The BNSF--MRL SD40-2XR's

It was another scorcher today in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 95-61. Supposed to be even warmer tomorrow, UGH! Train traffic has been slugish today with lulls appearing off and on. Unfortunately, not much in varierty of power. With early evening thunderclouds in the distance last evening, took a few pictures just for the clouds, lol. Here are some of the trains from last evening and today.

1. EB 601pm manifest train with BNSF 7826-4134-6764-6509-6202 on the pull with DPU's.
2. EB 728pm manifest train with BNSF 6758 on the very point with thunderclointuds in the distance. It was a good light show after darkness fell.
3, A graffitied The End of same train.
