Tracking West
Between Storms
The crew of the morning’s WTKTKF guides a flanger west down Donner Pass. The train had already been through here once before the same morning as California had a very small gap between storms. The night before, snow caused highways to be closed and many backups including an hour long one me and my friend would run into near Blue Canyon. However, this was nothing compared to what was to come. The storm starting the next day was said to be brutal with high winds and several feet of snow, which it was. It wasn’t just the mountain, but also many other parts of Northern California would be hit hard. The storm would cause the spreaders to be called out which temporarily closed the track between Truckee and Emigrant Gap.
