A "Head End" ride over the Southern Pacific Route. Back on board the Amtrak F40PH diesel at Sparks, Nevada, we pass the elaborate hotels and casinos of Reno. Leaving Reno, we pass spreading ranches through Tahoe National Forest and across the Sierra Nevadas. We then follow the Truckee River in California, through Donner Pass and arrive at Sacramento. The train then continues around the San Francisco Bay and arrives at Oakland, California.

Here is part three of the California Zephyr cab ride through the Donner Pass on the old Southern Pacific. As with the first two parts of this video, the scenery is awesome as you ride along, plus instead of the same old yackety yak narration, you get the commentary straight from the railroaders who call this stretch of the line their working place day in and day out. Not to be missed is the congeneiality of Mr. Berko himself often heard on the video adding a remark here and there. There is a part four of this video as well and like the first three parts of this series is also incredible.
