Western Railroad Discussion > A Very Wet Friday On The BNSF

It was a cold Wet soggy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Subwith a high-low of 44/37 and .70 of rain. Traffic was fairly steady and I missed a few on other activities. It was a tough day for pictures with all the steady rain and mud. It was another covered patio picture day. Here are the catches from today and a couple from yesterday's sunny day.

Another great set of pictures.
thanks, Robert

Great set of photos Larry. When thry are wet they appear a little shinier and cleaner, but it sure didn't help the 4579 any.
Brian Stevens

Nice variety of power & photos Larry.

Ronda Thomas

Nice stuff as always  Larry !

Friday was one of those Northwest days that I
tell people on the platform, If you don't like the
weather now...Just wait a minute !!!

I couldn't figure out if I needed my rain coat or
my sun glasses !!!

Thanks everyone!
