Our
Donner Pass Route - High Sierra Crossing
features over 90 miles of double track
mainline over Southern Pacific's historic
Overland Route between Colfax, Ca in the
west, to Truckee, Ca to the east. Set
in the 50s during the height of the steam
to diesel transition era.
Route
History
It
was the Central Pacific railroad that
completed the original line (#1 track),
over the high Sierras back on December
13, 1867, and was part of the first transcontinental
railroad across the United States. Its
construction was a magnificent feat, involved
thousands of workers. Unfortunately many
lost their lives in the process due to
the harsh and dangerous work conditions.
In
1901 the Southern Pacific took control
of the line, and in the mid 1920s, a second
line (#2 track) was constructed over the
pass in order to facillitate a "great
expansion" of service over the line.
