Western Railroad Discussion > Halloween Sunday On The BNSF

It was a partly cloudy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 70/47. I say Halloween Sunday since it was another all Orange Pumpkin Sunday with one CN unit. Traffic was so-so with several lulls in traffic. Here are the catches from today and a couple from yesterday.

Nice catches today. The CN unit is a nice site. Noticed the gondolas are still there.
