Can a train that long make it over donner pass, or do they have to break it up first?
|
I think it's so long that part of it is coming down before it's finished going up. Only part of it is actually being pushed uphill at any given time, and part of the rest is pulling it over.
|
The train was actually set up with 9 engines, 3 in front, 3 in middle and 3 at the tail, all working on remote from the lead engine. They will break it up into 3 or 4 trains once it hits Sparks. The haul from North Platte to Sparks is relatively flat, Donner is too much to try.
