Western Railroad Discussion > Some of Sunday's Trains In The Clouds

It was a raw cloudy breezy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 56-44 and .01 of drips from the sky. Traffic was fairly steady today. Here are some of the the trains from today. Had a tough time getting around with all the mud, lol. Will be absent tomorrow with errands in Spokane.

After Friday's 50mph gusts of wind we have received over 2 inches of rain. The storm of today has been just breezy winds and clouds with some drops at times. Chance for some more tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing Larry. Glad all went well with you in the storm.

I was departing Ritzville heading home and saw this one as it was crossing I90 west of town. If I could I would have stopped at Paha as I saw the ATSF hopper, but missed the Frrisco car.
