CBRW 302 - CBRW 651 - CBRW 652 |
| 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 thinkilg 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 wjth 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.C |

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. |

| Description: |
"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." |

CBRW 651 temporary 'parking brake' applied to the quick hand-off scheme on the single-track main... although BNSF was working to complete double-tracking it all. Just in time for all that oil-shale / oil-can / pipeline-on-rails stuff to fall into disuse. |
