Western Railroad Discussion > Action Before and After The Rain with Some variety--7777 Is Back

It was breezy and cloudy with early rain in Ritzville, WA on The BNSF Lakeside Sub. The high-low was 53/40 and .38 of rain. Traffic was fairly steady after 1030am when the MoW equipment returned to the yard after a near 6hr work window. Here are the catches form today and a few from yesterday before the rain.

I saw the trains in pics 18-24 pass by me while I was switching in the yard at Cheney. That last one was a puzzler, a solid tank train of small non-hazmat tankcars. I see Corn Syrup in those kinds of cars often, but they can handle a variety of heavy liquids and slurries.
