Warbonnet on Donner Pass

The BNSF trackage rights train is not an easy catch on Donner Pass. What made it better was the rare-in-Northern-California SD75M on the point. What made it special was that the SD75M #8220 is a Warbonnet.

How close are Yuba gap and Emigrant gap to eachother?

@ThomasRivette: I think they are about 5-6 railroad miles apart, a little closer by driving.

Ok thanks, I'm hoping to chase UP's anniversary train over the mountains in September and I want to catch it at both of those spots.

@ThomasRivette: Hehe, it's going to be difficult because there will be lots of other railfans - traffic might not be bad, but you'll have to wait to leave a location, and find a place to park in time to set up your video or photo.

8220's horns are out of tune.

You got 2 in one shoot. A Warbonnet and a SP!!! The Warbonnet horn is a classic though and I miss those style horns. Excellent video.

Awesome train meet at Glenshire! I like how the ex-Santa Fe and ex-SP units passed each other!
