Eastbound stac train rolling through Yuba Pass |
Description: |
this used to be double track at this location until new owners (D&RG) removed it between switch 9 and shed 10. may re-install second main line back. I have seen a couple of trains stall on this section, which creates a big problem for Donner Pass traffic. |
