Emigrant Gap Tuesday, 2007
|
UP 4267 west passing the WW2 troop diner at Emigrant Gap, California. The old car was there for many years and used to store maintenance of way equipment, but by 2011, it was gone.
Emigrant Gap is at about 5200 feet elevation and is the west end of the heavy snow zone on Donner Pass. A short distance west of Emigrant Gap is the loop at Fulda, where snow fighting equipment is turned to go back east to Truckee when the snow is falling. By the end of March 2007, snow was gone from Emigrant Gap.
