"Into the teeth of the 1% climb out of the Columbia River valley in the background, this eastbound is now heading east and west simultaneously as it ascends onto the Columbia Plateau. This loop is actually a full horseshoe up a side coulee of the Columbia valley. After leaving Wenatchee, WA., BN's ex-GN line crosses from the west to east side of the Columbia River and initiates this 20-mile climb to Quincy on its way to Ephrata and eventually Spokane."

Cascade Green!
I like the ex-NP SD45 trailing.
Oh, and two cabooses, (cabeese?) as well!
Oh yeah!
Where's my time machine!
To the left of the caboose's, you can see the curved cut and the fill that lead out to the massive trestle that crossed the coulee. Great shot!
I would have loved to have seen operations over that!
Me too!!
