Viewing Album: Union Pacific over Donner Pass
By:
Clark Gillis
Dates:
1/1/2015 - 11/30/2015
Album Info:
A lot has changed since the UP acquired the SP in 1996. Standardized power has now replaced the numerous EMD tunnel motors that were in charge of " the Hill". Tunnel modifications in 2011 now allow double stack trains to take the shorter more direct route to the east.
