Classic Chrome-Screen Saver: SP Tunnel Motor on Donner Pass.


Yes, another favorite from my Screen Saver file:

So where was I 28 years ago? Up on California’s Donner Pass!

I’d hiked up Eagle Lakes Road to Shed 10 where I made this view of Southern Pacific SD40T-2 tunnel motor 8258working east on a rear-end helper set.

The roar was amazing! The clear cool mountain air kept me awake.

Exposed on Kodachrome 25 with my old Nikon F3T and 35mm Perspective Control lens.

This is one of hundreds of Kodachrome slides I exposed on Donner between 1989 and 1997.
