Western Railroad Discussion > Looking Back On The Weekend On The BNSF with Some Variety

It was a mild sunny day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub with a high-low of 60-31 so far. Sure could use some rain, very dry! Traffic today is at 18 trains since midnight with more on the way. Here is a look back at Easter weekend with some variety. Many thanks for all the friendly crews that tooted-waved or both on just about every train that rolled by this past weekend.

They are just turnin and burnin that Pasco-Laurel-Pasco power with the MRL units. Lots of railroad variety with a bunch of "Easter Eggs" as they say in Hollywood. 

Here they are again....when I was there...none a MRL unit appeared to me...
