AMTRAK TO GO
MARCH 3rd & 4th
John has wanted to take a train ride for a long time so we decided to take a few days and go over Donner's pass in the winter. We heard that it was a beautiful ride, and we were not disappointed. This gentleman who is a volunteer gave us some interesting facts about the water sheds, the train sheds and Donner's pass.

THE OBSERVATION CAR 
WATER SHED
THE CAR THAT REMOVES SNOW FROM THE RAILS
TRUKEE/CHECK OUT THE OLD FLYING A GAS STATION
SEEING THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN THROUGH OUR WINDOW
DONNER'S LAKE 
SHEDS TO COVER THE TRAINS FROM THE SNOW, THE TUNNEL IS UP AHEAD
THE SHEDS ARE NOW MADE OF CONCRETE BUT YEARS AGO THEY WERE MADE OF WOOD
MANY TIMES WE WERE RIGHT UP NEXT TO THE MOUNTAIN
THE SNOW DRIFTS WERE BEAUTIFUL
OUR GUIDE TOLD US ABOUT THE OBSERVATION POINT (CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN). THIS IS WHERE THEY COULD SEE ALL THE SHEDS AND WHEN A SHED WAS ON FIRE THEY COULD GET HELP QUICKLY (THIS WAS WHEN THE SHEDS WERE MADE OF WOOD)
