Nostalgia & History > Photo request!Date: 06/19/17 10:10 Photo request! Author: SCUfoamer Nostalgia and History,
I wanted to see if anyone had photos from the SP glory days around Tunnel/sheds 6-8 on Donner Pass. Just spent the last couple of days exporting the abandoned sheds East of Norden. Quite an experience, but I would love to see what the tunnels were like when in service. Thanks in advance.    Date: 06/19/17 11:09 Re: Photo request! Author: CPR_4000 That third shot is spectacular! Looks like the ghost of somebody throwing flash on the right side?

I agree -- your third photo is spectacular! I love the angle and the lighting and the mood. Thanks so much for going exploring and taking that stunning photo! Donner is amazing, isn't it? So beautiful! Date: 06/19/17 15:13 Re: Photo request! Author: dmaffei Back 40 years ago with a west bound about to stall and take water at Norden. Nice photos
