Western Railroad Discussion > A Quick Look At Today and Some on The BNSF

It was a cloudy coolish day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 56-34. Very cold temps are on the way with lows in the teens later in the week. Still having an Orange Blast of mostly GE power with 30 trains since midnight with more on the way. Here are just a few examples of today's trains and yesterdays. Foreign power has been rare latlely.

Hi Larry. Nice Geometry car.  It is not easy to find them running nearby. 
The rains arrived here too.

Nice shots.  Good to see the auto racks---havn't seen much of them the last several months.
