Winter Operations on Donner Pass 2010 

I grew up in Truckee. great to watch thanks.

some serious effort getting that footage up there, and in heavy snow. well worth a watch.

Another Excellent Video from you ! Thanks !

c'est fantastique ! superbes images !

Oh, all that lovely snow! Please come back! California misses you!

I love this video. It was beautiful...

Nice shots of the California Zephyr and the stack train after the flanger went by.

i would love to drive one of these trains one day

I love donner area i been on amtrak threw there 3 times indeed

Snow + freight train = hell yeah !!!

Great video!!

This is some of the best winter footage I've ever seen, made more dramatic with low light and "nearly dark" shooting. Great job. Very powerful, but the "BA Productions" logo was ruined by the intrusion of the trains, distracting us. I had hoped that sort of thing could have been made smaller and a bit less prominent. I will check the web site, and hope that there aren't any incredible winter running shots to ruin the Blue Bulge. Thank you.

BA Productions has a new promotional video. Try searching for "Rotaries through the Avalanche." The documentary will be available in Fall of 2011!!

What was that thing that looked like a phantograph? was that to break Ice sickles off the tops of tunnels?

Sweet shot man! God bless!

Can't see the track and in the middle of nowhere! Afraid already!!

The logo takes some away from it, sadly. Beautiful footage nonetheless.

It's an ice cycle breaker for use on tunnel portals

@kdlehel it definitely sounds different than classic emd, doesn't it? From UtahRails site: "UP 589 & 600 (SP 4826 & 4841) are GP38-2 1(980)." Could not confirm re-engine. Quote: "...UP 572, 580, 600, 602, 604, 606 are equipped for snow service on Donner Summit; ...are equipped with icicle breakers, wire screen protection for the cab windows, & spinning cab window inserts; for better braking control in severe weather, all six units also received Blomberg B trucks with dual-clasp brake rigging..."

Cool thanks mate
