Western Railroad Discussion > Some Of Today's Action On The BNSF

It was a cloudy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 56-41. Traffic was steady today with lots of Orange GE grain trains with some deleted from today's pictures from boredom. Here are some of the trains that rolled by today.

1. WB 926am manifest train with BNSF 6750 and NS 1143-2535 on the point. I thought, WOW some non-orange on the first catch, but that didn't last, lol.
2. Another shot of NS 1143-2535.
3. Sorry a bad shot of NS 2535. My shot was as rough looking as the locomotive.

Good day's work and nice photos.  The NS unit may be rough, but at least it is a standard cab, and I sure do like those elephant-style consists that you show ocassionally.

My favorite is the NS one

Regarding NS 2535: There must be a force field around that unit that causes photos of it to come out blurry and out of focus. Same thing happened to me when I tried to photgraph it a few years ago.

Very interesting! I guess it's needed a paint job for awhile.

Great catch of the NS units. Nice series of photos.
