Among this evening's conditions either side of Spokane: all sidings full on the Lakeside Sub, and yard and fueling tracks full at Hauser. Honestly, though, this stuff is nothing new. Been observing this same cycle of fall rush congestion around here for years. Some years have simply been busier than others. Pre-Christmas stack traffic might not be what it used to be, but BNSF has made up for it, in terms of train count, with unit crude and export coal.
