Donner Lake, California |
Only a few years after the tragic winter of 1846-47 a railroad line was built that went around Donner Lake. People traveling on the train probably had no idea of what human suffering had occured in this beautiful place. The train is no longer in service but you can see the tracks here and there as the photo above shows. This photo shows part of the covered train track that kept snow and rocks off the trains. |
