Western Railroad Discussion > A Bit Of Martes Action On The BNSF Lakeside Sub

It was a partly cloudy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 74-47. A few showers in the area, but missed the backyard. UPDATE: At 545pm just received .30 of rain and hail in 20 minutes with lots of lightning and thunder! Traffic for Martes(Tuesday) was off and on with a couple of long lulls or work windows. Here are some trains from today and a few from yesterday.

Good Martes shots Larry, with sharp imagery and lighting. Missed most of what you shot but I can always rely on Mr. Webcam to capture what I missed.

Thanks for that Larry
