...58 years ago, Donner Pass was hit by one of the fiercest storms in its history. On January 13th, Southern Pacifics westbound City of San Francisco got caught in snow at Yuba Pass. For the next six days, rescuers worked hard to free the snowbound streamliner.

How well does Microsoft Train Simulator handle the Storm of 1952?

  • It looks like you have a bit of an "alpha" error on that PA's trucks. LOL You can see what I'm talking at 0:27 seconds.

  • @Espeelover For whatever reason, that particular savegame was acting up. The model doesn't look like that ordinarily.

  • do you plain on making an at the railward review of it? (not now but somtiome?)

  • Perhaps.

  • Did you know 3d train stuff made a donner pass add-on called The end of a era over donner pass?

  • Yes, I did.

  • @GECP4256 Thank you

    

  • @SantaFe5central Yeah on the passenger train, all 300 survived.

  • Incredible review.  I got chilled to the bones watching this.

  • Will you be making a new episode of At The Railyard on The End Of An Era Over Donner Pass?

  • im the 40th liker

  • did anyone survive

  • whats the music

  • what the music at the cab forward

  • @meccaturbo Moron? I'll Have You Know I've Learned About the American Locomotive Company for the last 7 Years, And I work On An ALCo Powered Road, Even We Run In winter. Sorry I'm not an RS-3 Expert But I frankly Don't Like the Engine.

  • @mountainlova1009 Again, not true. Canadian Pacific had an extensive fleet of MLW RS-3's and they frequently operated on CP's mainline across the Rockies. Snows there were even worse than snows on Donner. Seems that you have this bias against Alcos without any real science behind your argument, buddy. Get with the facts, you moron.
