Western Railroad Discussion > What A Difference A Day Makes On The BNSF

It was a Sunny Spring like day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub after an all day 3 inch snow yesterday. The high-low was 42/23 with very sloppy conditions outside for picture taking. Sorry, had to stay in backyard plus use covered patio to keep from slipping in the ice and mud. Suppose to warm up even more thru weekend. Here the mostly EB's from today and several from yesterday.
