Western Railroad Discussion > A Little Of This and That On A Nice Spring Day On The BNSF

The weather was Nice and sunny in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub. The High-low was 62/35. Even warmer temps tomorrow. MoW has the backyard socked in with equipment on both sides of the track. So please excuse the dark side of the trains. Traffic was so-so with a couple of lulls with the work window. Here are some of the trains from today and a few from yesterday.
