DPU 5564 pushes the Roper at Casa Loma, 28 May 2011
Casa Loma is between Alta and Blue Canyon, California on a stretch of the Donner Pass route that is separated from I-80 by a ridge. On clear days, there is a view into the American River Canyon here and at one time the spot was called American on the railroad.
The Roper was the MRVRO, the Roseville to Roper Yard in Salt Lake City manifest train. It has since become the MRVOG, with its east end in Ogden, Utah.
