Western Railroad Discussion > Looking Back On The Last Few Day's Action On The BNSF

It was a cold overcast day with thick fog in the morning hours in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 36-29. Traffic was a traffic disruption with the CBRW derailing in Connell, WA blocking the BNSF mainline. Traffic started moving this morning in the thick fog. Can;t see the trains until about 10am every morning. Here is a look back at the last few day's trains.

Great bunch of various shots and weather today.  Really like the standard cabs and the 268 along with the H1.

Between Yardley and Ritzville, they added several more cars to that work train, at least two between the ballast cars and the grader/flatcar and then more flats on the end.
Neat to see the second Geep on the rear of the work train.

Thanks Brian and thanks Richard for the additional information on that work train.
