Today, May 10, 2018 represents the 149thanniversary of the completion of America’s first Transcontinental railroad.
To commemorate the day, I’m posting a Kodachrome view that I made of a Southern Pacific freight on Donner Pass in 1993.
SP’s former Central Pacific route over Donner was a key portion of the original Transcontinental Line.
In the 1990s, I made hundreds of Kodachrome views of the Donner Pass crossing.
Tracking the Light is Daily!
Yeah! TSH
Never actually got to see Donner Pass in my USA travels but I was captivated by Richard Steinheimer’s photo-feature in Trains Magazine “The Hill”.
