East bound CNW 8682 pass a train in the siding at Colfax, and cranks it up as the other crew makes an inspection. The next scene is at Towle, on its way up to Donner Pass. Thanks for watching, jackmp294.5™

  • when was this taken?the engines sound GREAT!

  • Taken about 1999 if I remember correctly...

  • Did the UP reinstall double track on Donner, or is this just a passing siding?

  • @1jackdk Now days those trains coming from out west are bringing junk ass import Asia cars to us in the east! Buy American buy union! yup third gen RR family and a union iron worker. Plus I a vet and my son was wounded three weeks ago in combat ops. To many yuppie republicans sit back and count money preach security and there kids go to college and party. toledoOHindependentrailfan @ photbucket GET SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Is the first engine the "operation lifeserver"?

  • It's fun to see CNW engines at the head of a freight train. Long live the CNW!!!

  • @InternetBildschirm Chuck Norris would do it crawling on his thumbs ;-D

  • C&NW 8682 became UP 9786.

  • @MultiHornguy u.p. bought cnw, then it went under, i'm sure this is a tribute run for the engine or something like that.

  • Why would C&NW be in Donner Pass? It's a UP line.

  • that is a nice catch, wish UP kept a couple in the CNW paint

  • bud spencer would do it with his hands
