Western Railroad Discussion > Thursday's Line-Up On the BNSF Northern Transcon

It was a nice sunny cool Fall day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 61-33. A few high clouds floating around. Traffic was fairly steady. I did miss a couple of trains with other activities. Here are some of today's trains and a few from yesterday. Sun in the afternoon is very harsh these days.
