You can feel the thump of those pistons. A LOT of force.A moderate amount of horsepower....enough torque to twist off a mountain!

y did they remove this line ? was it because union pacific bought sp or just because it was too hard on the locomotives . I love old videos like this one.

@Adamlovesmedal I believe SP did the removal prior to UP buying them out but I may well be wrong. Hopefully someone will confirm. I think at that time SP traffic was quiet enough that they felt they could get by with single track. A shame, as there was real history here. Thanks for commenting

You said there were 2 units in the rear as pushers? They also function as dynamic braking when going down the west side of the pass. Otherwise, Oh shit!

@vettefan87 If you take a look at the redo I did of this video, titled "SP exits tunnel 8 Donner Pass higher quality" I included the helpers disconnecting and going back down to Truckee. thanks for watching and commenting. Good point.
