Western Railroad Discussion > Finally No New Ice and Sunshine For A change

It was a pleasent day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 40/33. I finally was able to drive around town after two ice days. With above freezing temps, lots of dripping from snow melt. Still lots of thick ice on the ground making it still very slippery walking around. There is another storm waiting in the wings. I even managed to drive to Bauman Rd., it felt good to get out in the sun. Here my catches from today.

1. WB 835am grain train with BNSF 4639-981 on the point with DPU and a friendly toot-toot from the hogger.
2. WB856am grain train with BNSF 4246 and Ferromex 4677 on the pull with DPU.
3. Another shot of Ferromex 4677 on same train.

Things are looking up--the parking lot at the food store is staying cleaned off, you've got good trains and photos, plus being able to get out and about some.
