Standing on shaky ground
Our second morning on Donner pass would prove to be fairly busy shooting a total of five trains. Unfortunately our luck ran out at lunch when we realized there would be zero trains in the afternoon. The second eastbound we shot was alphabet soup reefer train ZDLGRP (or as i was informed by the experts priority Delfar, California to Green River, Wyoming perishables). Thanks again to Steven Welch for showing me this location and providing the transportation beyond where the rental was going to get me. I was told I could get a better angle if I stood upright on the tunnel portal, but I opted for the lower view without any broken bones. The train is about to duck into Tunnel #13 on the original track #1 with the west portal of Tunnel #42 on the left and Donner Lake below on the right.
