Western Railroad Discussion > A Slushy Light Duty Day On The BNSF Northern Transcon

It was a breezy rainy slushy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 36-28 and .30 of rain. With the rain the snow and ice turned to a messy slush for a bad weather day. Still dealing with the pinched nerve, so another light duty day. Here are a few examples of today's trains.

1. Grab shot of EB 941am grain train with BNSF 5143-5885, Warbonnet 4706 and CREX 1409 on the point.
2. WB 1003am grain train with BNSF 7125-5421-5215 on the pull with DPU.
3. DPU BNSF 5681 on same train.

Good shots and looks like messy winter conditions have moved in.  I still like looking at the parking lot activity at the grocery store in your time-lapse shots----appeared to be a slow day for the store.
