Nostalgia & History > An SP Train With Rolls of Steel in the Donner SnowDate: 02/24/17 00:19 An SP Train With Rolls of Steel in the Donner Snow Author: MartyBernard These are Roger Puta's and I'm looking for the location and some words about this "unit"? train. (I'm assuming this is Donner Pass.)
Thanks, Marty Bernard Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/24/17 00:21 by MartyBernard.   Date: 02/24/17 00:38 Re: An SP Train With Rolls of Steel in the Donner Snow Author: 4451Puff Westbound in the canyon between Reno & Truckee. I'm sure there are others who could give a more specific station or MP.
Desmond Praetzel, "4451 Puff" Date: 02/24/17 00:40 Re: An SP Train With Rolls of Steel in the Donner Snow Author: MartyBernard Of course. That's the Truckee River. How did he get that vantage point?

-'Puff Date: 02/24/17 04:12 Re: An SP Train With Rolls of Steel in the Donner Snow Author: BoilingMan I agree- it would be a relatively easy shoot from EB I-80, but I don't know the area very well enough to pin point the exact location.

That's closer to Truckee than I'd thought. Isn't Glenshire know as Truckee's Banana Belt? (Only -5 when Truckee's -20) SR |
