Western Railroad Discussion > Leaping Donner Pass in a Single (long, rather extended) Bound!Date: 11/16/18 15:39 Leaping Donner Pass in a Single (long, rather extended) Bound! Author: BoilingMan The SUPER FRUIT! One of my Donner Faves, especially when it gets down to small car counts. It looks like we have 5 cars today. And, as the Brits call it: "Top & Tail" power- a Super Fruit tradition.
SR Oh- this is EB at Dutch Flat and, yes, the haze is from the Camp Fire up north.

What a great train to model.
Date: 11/16/18 16:39 Re: Leaping Donner Pass in a Single (long, rather extended) Bound Author: SCKP187 Nice shot. That is a neat looking train. Does this train get fill at Pocatello and other points as the journey progresses?

(And, man, will THAT be welcome!). Normally we see our first winter weather right around Halloween. When my daughter was little, rain was always a threat when trick or treating. And I remember when we were building the house I finished the roof in a falling snow on Nov 5th.

The Delano train usually picks up cars at Sparks, hence the DP unit on the rear. The train out of the PNW will do a pickup at Pocatello, and then gets combined with the Delano train at Green River, WY. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/16/18 18:18 by SPSF. |
