Western Railroad Discussion > Snow on Donner PassDate: 11/25/15 09:55 Snow on Donner Pass Author: defect_detector 1. UP 6612 leads the MRORVW 22 westbound at Emigrant Gap yesterday as I-80 is completely devoid of vehicles as the snow begins to fall again.
2. UP 7238 leads the westbound AGBMI 21 as it works its way over the pass. Date: 11/25/15 10:00 Re: Snow on Donner Pass Author: P DId you travel on the highway, or was it closed to autos?

We did travel on 80, came up from Sacramento and never went over summit as we figured the east side would be a mess. CHP/Caltrans got aggressive with the chain controls on the east side of the hill due to whiteout conditions which resulted in a long period of no westbound vehicle traffic.

If you go slow, you will be OK. Yesterday was bad, the day before , highway was closed for many accidents. Date: 11/25/15 12:04 Re: Snow on Donner Pass Author: lee_uintah Love the weather, with those great action shots.

Man, those are two gorgeous photos! LOVE the mood and compositikn! Thanks for braving the cold and traffic. Well done, sir!! (Yes --- it is verh hard to drive safely in weather like that -- because if you go at an appropriate speed, others may tailgate you. Too many drivers are impatient. Hope everyone gets through this snowy season OK.) Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Date: 11/25/15 12:38 Re: Snow on Donner Pass Author: TrainRidingGal Nice shots! Great to see snow in the Sierras again! Also helps to support the argument of why the US needs to have rail lines in times like those shown.
