Amtrak's California Zephyr, #5 at Emigrant Gap on Donner Pass.

I thought Donner was a UP route

@WPRR1 It is UP now, as the UP took over SP in 1996. But this was originally a Southern Pacific line threw the Sierra's. Thanks for watching...

I rode #5 over Donner Pass last year. It was a great trip. The scenery does not look like Disneyland California Adventure at all! Its a nice experience too.

I'm so delighted that someone on YouTube knows what tripods are for! Thanks for the steady shot.

BTW it's "Emigrant Gap".

Thanks!!! A tripod is a MUST, if you want a quality video.

It was spelled correctly in the info, I messed it up in the caption. Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks for watching, and take care. Jackmp294...
