Western Railroad Discussion > 20 Degree Cooler Today On The BNSF

It was about 20(19) degrees cooler today from yesterday's 86 in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 67/47. The cooler weather sure felt good, but the heat is returning after a dry cold front blew through last night. Traffic was steady in the morning until a long lull hit in the afternoon. Here are some of today's consists and a couple from yesterday. Not much foreign power today.

Looks like a good day. Noticed there are a lot of early BNSF dash9s on those trains. That's always good to see.

Nice Series Larry!   Like the shot of that Santa Fe Tank!

Man, you do get a lot of trains where you live!
That is great! The sounds must be awesome!
I really liked that view of the area behind your
place -- that is pretty! And that "Santa Fe"
tank car, the BNSF 933144, is a real find!
I wonder how old she is? And your broadside
photos of those BNSF locomotives show just how
huge they are, and very long!

Thanks for all the neaet photos!

Nice series of photos Larry.

Interesting that it now carries water. They were originally used to haul diesel fuel for railroad use. Chico said: "Santa Fe all the Way"
