More than double stacks enroute east & west. This video has a nice variety of trains.... auto, manifest, Amtrak passenger, grain... etc. But the show does belong to the intermodal double stacks as they finally are able to run over Donner Pass following a huge upgrade of the line. Very interesting to watch the giants climbing 2%+ grades and battling the Pass.

I think this is an excellent program of Donner Pass in the modern doublestack era. I can't help but compare it to 7ideaproductions Donner Pass program. Both Pentrex and 7idea cover the Roseville to Sparks sector but Pentrex covers more locations although they don't shoot at the summit due to heavy snow. Their tour of the line takes 2 hours. The 7idea program shoots the same territory but has many scenes at the summit and one inside a snowshed. They cover the area in one hour and 30 minutes so there isn't as much individual attention to locations as Pentrex but 7idea adds 30 minutes at the end of the program showing winter snow fighting trains amidst blizzard conditions at times. How they were able to get these shots, I will never know.

I would recommend getting both of these programs. Each is excellent in its own way.

I really enjoyed this DVD, I really enjoy watching any railroad video having to do with Donner Pass be it present day railroad or steam and early diesels on Donner Pass.

If you love double-stacks as much as I do, then you will definitely want this DVD in your collection! This has some great scenery with some truly awesome footage in it. I've seen some of the footage in other Pentrex videos but, for the most part this video has plenty of unseen footage and I highly recommend the video for your collection!

This DVD provides a different view of the fabulous Donner Pass. I enjoyed the DVD but I liked the Pentrex Donner Combo better. While the object of buying this disc is to watch trains, I also like a bit of the scenery included for us foreign train layout modelers, and on this I could have seen a little more. Over all the disc could be higher definition for big screen TVs, but it is still enjoyable.

I enjoyed the dvd very much. As I am a doublestack fan, it was amazing to watch these monster stack trains climb over Donner Pass. I was out that way in 2006 and went to watch trains at the trench in Reno, Nv. There was no action in the 2 and a half hours I was there and now I understand why. All the trains were going over the Feather Canyon route.
