Western Railroad Discussion > The BNSF Busy Beat Goes On

It was a fairly nice day with a tad of humidity in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 78/47. Traffic was busy except for a small lull in the early afternoon. Here are the catches from today and a couple from yesterday. It was nice to see a Warbonnet on the point of a train today.
