Western Railroad Discussion > Quick Look At Several Days On The BNSF--NS 1072

It was a blustery(25-35mph) day in Ritzville, WA after thunderstorms yesterday on the BNSF Lake side Sub. Hot weather on the way. The high-low was 78/50 so far with .11 of rain last evening. Been very busy the past few days with doctor appointment and graduation celebrations, but managed to catch a few trains, lol. Here is a quick look at the past few days on the Northern Transcan. I believe NS 1072 is captured in this area after seeing it many times.

Your image #23: What a great poker hand! But I remember watching live poker on ESPN a few years ago and saw a hand with quad Aces lose out to a Royal Straight Flush. It was awesome!

Ed
