Summary
Description CPRR Sierra Grade @ Donner Summit (1869; 2003).jpg |
English:
Composite image of
Donner Summit
and
Donner Lake
with the
CPRR
grade visible on the right exiting the Summit Tunnel (Tunnel #6) passing through Tunnel #7 and entering Tunnel #8. The upper image, which was taken c1869 by A.J. Russell, shows the grade covered by wooden snow sheds. The lower image was taken by the uploader (
Centpacrr
) in August, 2003, which shows where the rails of Track #1 had been in place and in daily use from 1868 until the 6.7 mile section of Track #1 between Shed 26 (MP 192.1) and Shed #47 (MP 198.8) about a mile east of the Eder flyover was removed by the
UPRR
(which now owns the grade) in 1996. All traffic over the summit moved since then over Track #2 about one mile south of Donner Pass and crosses the summit through the 10,322-foot long Tunnel #41 (built in 1925) running under Mt. Judah between Soda Springs and Eder. (The west portal of the Summit Tunnel appears in the lower right corner of each image.)
