The Amazing Feather River Railroads-see the Seven Railroad Wonders of the World!

One of great railroad routes in the world. This film was done in 2009, one of the last busy years for this route. That's because the Union Pacific Railroad made the Donner Pass tunnel larger so it would accomodate the container trains and now many of those trains go over Donner Pass, not down the Feather River. You can still see trains there, such as coal and grain and manifests, but not the heavy traffic you'll see in this program. Thanks for enjoying it!

Hardly incredible, most American railway bridges are just track on stilts I'm surprised they don't collapse. If something below in the river hit just one pillar (if you can call them pillars) then the whole bridge would be gone.

these are not trains. They are goods carriers.

Truly an amazing route. Unique in all of train-dom. I've wanted to actually go see it for myself for a long time. I hope I get to sometime. Thanks for posting this! And yes, requires slow speeds alright .... good brakes in one direction, and, a ton of fuel in the other.
