Western Railroad Discussion > An Abridged Day On The BNSF

Today started out in frozen pea soup fog and finally to 300pm sunshine and partly cloudy in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub. The high-low was 39/28. Due to being under the weather I abbreviated the day with just a few trains. There was a three hour MoW work window from 1000am to 1pm with light afternoon traffic. Took most of the pictures from the open back door, so I wouldn't be out in the cold. Hope the relapsed bug leaves soon. Here are my abridged catches of the day.

1. EB 921am auto train with BNSF 5532-H1 1097 on the point with DPU.
2. Older blue GT auto rack rolling in same train. I like the fallen flag cars.
3. Older SP auto rack without graffiti rolling in same train.

10. The end of same train with a BNSF crane.
11. WB 325pm "Z" train with BNSF 4108 on the very point. It was a rather short train.


This may be it since there are no trains close by. Hope everyone has a great evening and tomorrow. Thank you so much for looking!

Larry, you sure hit the jackpot on autoracks.  Some weather beaten veterans there.
