A three way meet, and a difficult hike from me reveals a different seen at Caliente.

I had a good time with Donner while stationed at Travis AFB. GOD I MISS THAT PLACE!!!!

Bright sun.....fresh snow.....fresh paint.....priceless!

At dusk the eastbound Amtrak departs Sparks. DO YOU NOTICE THE DEPARTING AIRCRAFT ABOVE THE TRAIN??

So you think this train has enough power to make it up the hill??! Luckily, for the UP this train makes a large setout at Sparks, NV. It is not too uncommon for both the east and the west bound z-... (more)

Curving through and around Chavez'z camp at Keene, CA, the BNSF 4729 leads its ztrain into the north end of Woodford.

Well into Troy is an eastbound auto train. This location requires a bit of work to get to, but I think the efforts are well worth it

Ah the snow is falling, its midnight......what else would I do?

Streching accross the approach, over the bridge, and through the tunnel....the 5816 peaks out of the east end of Shed 10.

On a beautiful winter afternoon, a crew member peers out to see why Amtrak is stopped

Heading out of the summit tunnel heading west, remnants from the prior days storm can be seen. The "core"(amount of snow accumulated between the rails) is getting pretty deep!

Deep into Troy is the eastbound z-train crossing the lower cascade bridge. What a view!

Upon a trip up and down the hill, the crew prepares to put this flanger set to bed as the headlight illiminates the snowfall

Another snow storm on Donner....and a little "snow bath" for me as the lead unit kicks up some snow

Climbing eastward through the very curvy approach to one of the few remaining snow sheds on Donner Pass
