Curving next to the Truckee river just east of Truckee, CA
Flanger heading west as the sun breaks through the clouds slightly
I love the symmetry with the pipe loads on the hoppers as the eastbound train curves through Soda Springs
Speeding westbound in heavy snow is yet another trip made by the flanger to keep the pass open.
Finally the heavy snow begins to fall, sticking to everything around!
Waiting short of the crossovers at W. Truckee, I snapped this shot before heading into the hotel just a few feet away.
Eastbound #6 makes a sharp turn amidst the beautiful snow covered scenery
Rain illuminated by headlights falls in Truckee because of high the warm temperatures.
After adjusting the plow upon exiting the Norden shed, the spreader works westbound on the #2 track.
The speader waits on the #1 while a westbound train pulls up the finally portion of the grade out of the "big hole"
After crossing over inside the shed, the westbound flanger heads down the #2 while other Donner snow fiend Dick Dorn shoots him exiting.
I finally got the picture that I always wanted from Donner, although there wasnt quite as much snow as I wished. Needless to say I love it! Here the spreader is plowing snow moving east over the l... (more)
Yet again, the spreader is out plowing.....what a sight to see!
After stalling just east of switch 9, the eastbound auto got a push by the overpowered z-train, here the auto makes the approach to Shed 10
The snow train winds through Norden as it is a few feet from the Norden shed.
