Western Railroad Discussion > Trying To Catch Up On The BNSF and They Are Back!--GMTX 2692Date: 11/06/19 16:07 Trying To Catch Up On The BNSF and They Are Back!--GMTX 2692 Author: Ritzville It was a sunny hazy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 53-30. Very dry, need some rain. Traffic was fairly steady with a several hour work window in the morning, 23 trains since midnight. Many more on the horizon. On the morning of Nov. 5th looked out the back door and there was MoW camped back out in the backyard once again. They have been frequent visitors these past months. Unfortunately they block the sunny side of the track for pictures. Today looking at Monday and part of Tuesday. Looks like it will take awhile to catch up.

Date: 11/07/19 06:17 Re: Trying To Catch Up On The BNSF and They Are Back!--GMTX 2692 Author: bakersfielddave I saw a similar BN hopper in Belen yesterday with a date of new 5-70 but the paintwork had faded on it but there was no graffiti
There must have been many hundreds of BN hoppers painted in the early 1970s and many can still be seen around today Posted from Android Date: 11/07/19 11:17 Re: Trying To Catch Up On The BNSF and They Are Back!--GMTX 2692 Author: Ritzville Thanks everyone!
