Donner Pass Eastbound, Including the Old Route, Pt 1

[Alwaystrains]

Does anyone know when the old route was abandoned? I remember driving over Donner Pass all the time on interstate 80 and would always see the old route on the opposite side of the lake. And for the longest time, I always thought that was the route the trains where taking, until I found out about about summit tunnel #41. A.K.A, "The Big Hole" just recently.
