Western Railroad Discussion > Looking Back On The Weekend Thru Mid Week On The BNSF

It was a mild partly cloudy day in Ritzville, WA on the BNSF Lakeside Sub. The high-low was 78-48 with light rain on Friday and Saturday. Many thanks to all the many toots and waves from the friendly crews. Traffic is at 14 trains since midnight. I imagine the tie crew will be in town soon. Here's a look back since Saturday into today.

Larry, here is the front end of that 1x2 military train, along with a shot of one of the flatcars carrying what I think are M1126 Stryker ICVs.  I caught him down at Cunningham.
