July 24, 2010 at Donner Lake State Campground near Truckee, CA. Riding around the campground, mountain biking up the Emigrant Trail in Coldstream Canyon and over Schallenberger Ridge. The peace of the area is punctuated by the busy railroad mainline high above. The eastbound California Zephyr and a heavy westbound freight train pass through Tunnel 13 above Donner Lake. A bike ride through the snowsheds and tunnels of the original, but now abandoned, summit line. A marshmallow roast around the fire pit closes the day.
Cool video, we did the snow sheds Nov 5th, 4 wheeling in the snow that time. made it as far as the east portal of the "big hole" tunnel. Videos are at my user name.

Very interesting video! The ride through that dark tunnel was very creepy--what a gorgeous place. Thanks for posting this!
