Great review. Yeaaah, EMDs galore. Really cool to see them as leaders as well as, and not just DPUs. Weather is getting better even though a few sporadic days

Rolling Ritzville northern transcon action comments:
Numerous EMD Units and nice skies make for a super posting.
Coal trains are my favorite, but I like the  color intermodals bring.
Nicest skies are in Photo 1; the cloud formations are awesome.
Three NS units are a long way from home; don't give me the horse laugh.
Units Of The Day are BNSF #9183 & #9167, in the lead as they should be.
Thanks for the interesting action photo posting, really like all the EMD units.
Your time and work are always appreciated.
ALLEN

Was beginning to think it was a GE kind of day until the grain train showed up.  With TWO EMD leaders.  Plus more after that.  And lots more after that!  Thanks for posting, Larry.
