Connell Climb
Three vintage EMD's (plus one dead in tow) power Columbia Basin's climb up the hill from Connell, wrapping around this tight S-curve just before the grade begins to level out. These SD9's (and one SD19) aren't the only relics in the photo, as the remnant of a lone telegraph pole can be seen on the right. The terrain in this part of Washington felt almost alien compared to the western half of the state where we spent most of our trip.
