Right after the flanger crew headed out, the westbound Union Pacific Roper, UT to Roseville, CA mixed freight with distributed power units (dpus) started the climb up the Donner Pass. This train features c44acctes (ac4400s #5573, 5557, 5659), c45acctes (gevos #7916, 7870, 5508), an SD60M “Tri-clops” #2287, and an SD9043AC #8237. Yes, the snow was falling in Truckee but was even worse towards the summit near Soda Springs. Video was taken on 1/17/2010 at 12:20pm.

Great for kids with tubes and sleds just to play around in the area???
Please help, building a concierge book, so general directions would be great!!!

Shot in HD for the upcoming video: Unauthorized Biography of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad. This video was shot in 2008 while the tracks through tunnel 2 in American Flat were under construction. This is the very first train to run through the tunnel since the salvage run in 1941. I have recently posted other shots of the actual ballast work, with trains going through the tunnel. This is the first shot. Standing to my left, off camera with his own camera and tripod, was Gare Luce or Geocon, someone who should “just work here” but who instead gets politically involved in indefensible things. More on this in the upcoming Unauthorized Biography of the Virginia and Truckee Blu-Ray / DVD coming out in the next few months. Then we see the owner of the REAL (private company, not government project) Virginia and Truckee Railroad, Tom Gray, walk up to see his train make the first tunnel run. Tom is not paying attention, I have to bug him to get out of the shot. We’ve all gotten mad at railfans in our shots, but I can’t hold this one against him. For more info as the upcoming video progresses, see www.trainarts.com and/or www.virginiaandtruckeerailway.com, my sites dedicated to the process. You can also contact me at jim@virginiaandtruckeerailway.com. The Nevada Commission for the Reconstruction of the Virginia and Truckee Railway is the government agency charged with rebuilding the tracks from Gold Hill to Carson City. Originally budgeted at $10 million, the construction budget is now over $70 million. Their official site is the vtrailway.com site. See their site for a good example of propaganda.

Californians, anyone?
