Date: 02/17/19 16:54 Re: #6 Clearing the Way Through Alta, CA (Donner Pass) Author: WoodrowStool At the moment both #5 and #6 are both projected to arrive in Truckee at 5pm within a minute of each other. #5 is over 7 hours late, while #6 is 2+ hours down. With the very short platform at the Truckee station this is going to be a busy and possibly time consuming couple of stops.

I'd arrived just as they were blowing for Midas, so no time to set up a tripod- just a hand held grap shot... 8+ hours late- they won't make Emeryville before midnight.
