Journey high into California's Sierra Nevada Mountains for a stunning look at winter operations over Donner Pass. As Pacific storms dump heavy snow, Union Pacific battles to keep trains rolling.

Get a taste of what it is like to be trackside in the midst of winter's fury. Long stack trains, heavy manifests, and Amtrak's California Zephyr share the rails with an army of snow fighting equipment including flangers, spreaders, and the mighty rotaries.

Beginning at Colfax, trains climb toward the snow zone at Blue CaƱon, then on to Truckee on rails once covered almost completely by snow sheds. Extra time is spent near the summit at Soda Springs and Norden where man and machine are put to the test against the elements. This is mountain railroading and snow fighting rolled into one exciting presentation!

Shot over four separate winters including the big snow of 2011, this is your ticket to "Winter on Donner Pass!" Available soon on DVD, Blu-ray, or Digital Download.

Run Time: 2 hours 5 minutes

I'm a long-time fan of 7idea, and this one certainly was not a disappointment. Filmed over a number of years, dating back to 2011, this features not only scenic footage of Union Pacific freights battling the harsh weather in the Sierra's, but more importantly, the snow-fighting equipment that is used to keep them rolling. Aaron held nothing back in capturing this footage, hiking in with snowshoes, into remote areas, and often being pelted with snow coming off of the Rotaries! This one continues a long line of excellent dvd's, and is a example of why 7idea leads the pack for railfan dvd's!

Additional remarks by Curt Cruthirds:
Narration: Just enough.
Would kids enjoy this? Yes.

Brrrrrr..watch this one on a hot day and it will cool you off! Lots of trains here along with a variety of snow fighting equipment and techniques. Listen to the narration and you'll get a history lesson too! Seeing Norden as it exists today was a treat-in better shape than I expected. 4 seasons in the making it took rugged people and tough equipment-but it was definitely worth it. No people in this one-too cold to talk I guess, but excellent narration. RECOMMENDED
