Western Railroad Discussion > A Full Plate Saturday On The BNSF

It was sunny to begin with and then turned cloudy, breezy and cold in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 45-33. Traffic was steady and busy. Only missed a couple of trains today. Here are my catches from today.

1. WB 918am grain train with BNSF 7941 and Warbonnet 693 on the point with DPU's.
2. Another shot of Warbonnet 693 on same train.
3. WB 945am coal train with BNSF 5765-8417-6432 on the pull with DPU and a friendly toot-toot from the hogger.
