Coming down the hill into Connell.

Lauren says:
"Columbia Basin, CBRW 12 switching out the industries at Bruce, WA on August 7, 2025. This was a roster shot taken at one of the crossings at Bruce.

"CBRW 12 is a rebuilt SD9 that was built as Colorado & Southern 832 in April of 1959. It went through 2 mergers with Burlington Northern as the BN 6227 and BNSF 1735. It was retired by BNSF and went to the TCYR 25 before being purchased by the Columbia Basin."
