Journey high into California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains for a stunning look at winter operations over Donner Pass. As Pacific storms dump heavy snow, Union Pacific battles to keep trains rolling.
br>Get a taste of what it is like to be trackside in the midst of winter’s fury. Long stack trains, heavy manifests, and Amtrak’s California Zephyr share the rails with an army of snow fighting equipment including flangers, spreaders, and the mighty rotaries.
br>Beginning at Colfax, trains climb toward the snow zone at Blue Ca on, then on to Truckee on rails once covered almost completely by snow sheds. Extra time is spent near the summit at Soda Springs and Norden where man and machine are put to the test against the elements. This is mountain railroading and snow fighting rolled into one exciting presentatioN.

Lloyd –
There are lots of dvds on winter railroading in Donner Pass, but this one ranks at the top. Lots of heavy trains working hard to get over the pass and the snow making it difficult. Amtrak also has to get over the pass. All the available snow moving equipment is seen in the fight to keep Donner open. Excellent video.
