October Connell Turn

My photos.

October 15, 2025

After leaving the Royal City turn at Othello, we went over to catch the Connell Turn on the Columbia Basin returning from Connell.


Climbing up out of Connell, while I am perched on the hill above the Moon Rd. crossing.



Train is approaching the SR 26 overpass at Koren.


I'm at Providence Road. That's Bruce, WA in the distance.

All three of these are very good images. The second photo shows the area and terrain well, as well as the nature of the traffic moving that day. What were you using for elevation?

I had scrambled up the berm of dirt underneath the SR 26 overpass.

I like the wide open spaces 1st shot, makes the train look small.
That SD40 has been bleached by the sun pretty good!

I suppose they are a modest trade-off for the first generation power. These sound nice too.

Still get to hear that EMD sound!
