That's incredible how people back then pull together and do manual labor!

I wonder if back then the first thing the passangers did after being rescued was suing the railroad company

The most incredible thrill of living 25 wonderful years in the Sierra Nevadas was the knowledge that man was just a mere speck and the forces of nature clearly evident around him could crush him like a bug at damned near any moment.

I too live very near to Donner Pass/Truckee and have found myself in a few nasty blizzards/snowstorms. Isn't hard to imagine how someone or something can get stranded there...even today.

I live by Donner Pass and its insane how hard the snow can come down.
