Western Railroad Discussion > Looking Back Several Days On The Northern Transcon

It has been a muggy partly cloudy to cloudy day with some drips in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub. The high-low is 70/48 so far with .40 of rain. Had to take a rain time-out this afternoon. Traffic has been a bit light so far. Here is a look back at the last couple of days and a few from today.

Nice catches over the days. Sure is a lot of nice foreign power you have seen lately. Looks like the AirStream over by the grocery storehas been taken out of winter storage now.
