Western Railroad Discussion > A Look At The Start Of A New Decade 2020 On The BNSF

It was a cloudy cool day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 41-32. Mild Winter so far for 2020. Traffic was light due to the tough derailment in Idaho. Here are some of the trains at the start of the new decade. Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!
