Western Railroad Discussion > Some Of Today's and Yesterday's Action On The Northern Transcon

It was a partly cloudy muggy type day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 82/51. Traffic was steady today, eliminated some of the grain trains due to sameness. Here's some of the trains from today and several from yesterday. Sure wish I had the variety that Jim has in Wisconsin, lol.
