Description: The Southern Pacific Engine travels over snow covered tracks in Donner Pass, California. The Southern Pacific tamed the great American deserts and crossed more mountain summits than any other railroad in the United States, but the "King of the Grades" was Donner Pass. Intense winter storms and record snowfalls are commonplace on Donner Pass, Southern Pacific’s route through the Sierra Nevadas. Since its discovery in 1844, the mountain passageway has claimed its share of victims, including the party of settlers after whom the pass was named. The Donner's punishing conditions set an enduring standard for mountain railroading.
