Description: |
CBRW 302 - CBRW 651 - CBRW 652... dammit, dammit, dammit... after running a quarter mile or more, I managed to make it back to one hill away from where I wanted to be for this group dropping out of the hills and crossing the trestle - one hill _away_ from where Id staked out for almost an hour-and-a-half through shifting light levels and wonder - before wandering off thinking Id come up empty again. And luck would have it, theyre running a couple minutes early. Halfway have to wonder if all that was on purpose to see if the out-of-shape fart with the camera would have a coronary after running in an attempt to at least salvage _some_ sort of shot from the afternoon. Although I have to admit, I was laughing pretty hard at my stupidity and lack-of-luck - but at least there were trains. Guess any day with trains is a good day. |

CBRW 302 |
Description: |
CBRW 302 on point but preparing to be last position for the return trip - and a little odd, usually Columbia Basin Railroad units show pretty darn good upkeep and nice tidy livery - this unit seems to be showing the economic down-turn. Then again, keep an extra crew member or paint a unit - guess its an easy decision to make. |

Description: |
CBRW 651 - CBRW 1626 - CBRW 166 - CBRW 302 preparing to round the corner up and out of the Connell depression (only partial pun intended) as they climb up away from the Class-I BNSF interchange with the local folks. I have to say it, having watched others in various fields, from medicine to shipping and distribution... Ive never seen crews work so well together between ancillary businesses like appear here at the CBRW-BNSF interchange: depending on the day and efficiency in making every maneuver count while reducing the blocked at-grade crossings to the absolute minimum, the two crews of these railroads work extremely well together, and even if one or the other has to make additional shifts, hauls, and drops, before I can figure it out, theyve proven to have arrived at a wonderfully effective solution... so hats off, and congratulations. Somewhere, someday, I hope yall are recognized for what you both do, because the cooperation to achieve the best possible gains, even if you have to work a little more to help out another business, is truly amazing. |

Connell... and the sage hills I wander about periodically when over that direction. If you've ever been curious about this particular area, please feel free to grab a copy of a book detailing my meanderings up here: "Nothing Interesting" at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/946183 - and at checkout use coupon code RA54U to get it free (if you're reading this and it's past expiration, just drop me a line and I'll freshen it up - this discount/free copy is provided to all the fine folks that've supported me (and put up with my drivel) over the years here at RRPA.net - I appreciate everyone's comments & support, and hope y'all have enjoyed my silence while just posting photos up here... but if you missed my diatribes, grab a copy (or if you want, get it and ignore the text and just enjoy the pictures from the hills where these pictures in Connell are often snapped). Thanks again, everyone! Enjoy - Bob (and crew) |

Description: |
"New" speed hand-off running local-unit grain train up and out of the Eastern Washington hills; I presume having a Columbia Basin Railway unit on the 'outbound' string allows a quick hand-off drop from the larger BNSF SD's (which also have the benefit of relatively straight / slight down-hill grade back to Pasco Yard). Compared to previous exchanges between the Class I and CBRW, this one happens relatively quick. The BNSF then shuffle into the Connell yard to time it between other priority traffic on the main before the three-to-four shuffle to reassemble the inbound grain train before heading back south to the Tri-Cities. |

"Up-up-and-away..." the CBRW six-way now rejoins the lone CBRW unit that had come north with the exchange on the BNSF consist/lash-up, giving the local group seven at the front. (Sorry for any repetitiveness: just not sure when the new yard will be completed (I believe south of here, and completely inaccessible to view), so like liveries dropping into the dust, trying to nab a shot or two "of the way things were." |
