Western Railroad Discussion > A Rather Busy Tuesday On The BNSF-EMD Tier 4's

It was a cloudy with peeks of sun and then rain in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 51/38 and .32 of rain during the night. Traffic was fairly busy today and I too was busy with yard maintenance with lots of pruning of lilac hedges. Lots of sweating, lol, definately out of shape from the long winter. I took many of the photos while pruning today. Then the weather turned wet again. Here are the catches from today and one from yesterday.
