Western Railroad Discussion > Chasing Trains In The Backyard On The BNSF--6666

It was a Nice day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 79/50. It's easy to chase trains in the backyard, just open the back door, down the steps to trackside which makes it easy to be a human webcam, lol. Traffic was fairly steady with a couple of lulls. Lots of grain trains which I deleted most due to sameness. Here's what I chased today and some from yesterday.

1. BNSF 486176 The Denver Road Heritage Hopper rolling in WB 543pm grain train.
2. WB 609pm coal train with BNSF 6273-6093 and Warbonnet 732 on the point with DPU.
3. Another shot of Warbonnet 732 on same train.

At least 13 more to go.

16. BNSF 480654 SP&S Heritage Hopper with graffiti rolling in same grain train. I've noticed these Heritage Hoppers are now becoming more of a target for graffiti, unfortunately.


This should be it for today. Hope everyone has a great evening and tomorrow. Thank you so much for looking!
