Western Railroad Discussion > Unusually Busy For A Monday On The BNSF with Some Variety

It was another off and on drippy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub. with a high-low of 47/34 and .21 of rain drops. It was a very busy Monday for a change, probablly due to all the weather condition backup in traffic. Did delete a few Orange grain trains, just too many. Here are the catches from today and a couple from yesterday.

Nice Variety and shots with a lot of trains going through the backyard Larry, Thanks for Sharing!    I saw yesterday's numbers and wow they are cracking those trains through...  20 Eastbounds and 19 Westbounds, that is impressive!

Nice catches today.  Sure is a lot of trains and all the power looks good as well.

Hey Ritzville, nice catches on the clean Santa Fe covered hopper and the "Frisco" covered hopper. We see some Santa Fe hoppers roll through Pittsburgh from time to time. Also, you get your fair share of Warbonnet C44-9W locos. Nice!
