Classic SP Donner 1982 Summer
Author: arrowspatial

SD45 and Caboose of the era pushing for the "steel train". Timbered tunnel exit. 
My notes say "turnoff Nevada City"

The train is at Yuba Pass. The highway at the same location, where I80 and SR20 to Nevada City meet, is Yuba Gap.
Nice shot, do you have any wider shots at this vantage point?

Near where the westbound City of San Francisco was stuck by a snow slide for three days in 1952.

Remaining track is through the tunnel or around the tunnel?
