"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.
