Key Holidays runs the Fun Train and Snow Train from Emeryville to Reno. See the snow on the Fun Train ...

This video shows a Union Pacific truck in Truckee, California, then an Amtrak California Zephyr at Nyack, then the Key Holidays Fun train at Nyack and Soda Springs, CA.

In March 2007 this Amtrak 10031 dome car was on the Fun Train and the Snow Train.

Ride the Rio Grande Royal Gorge passenger car past the Royal Gorge cross-country ski area at Soda Springs, CA near Donner Pass.

Here is the Fun Train passing Nyack, approaching Emigrant Gap

The Fun Train at Soda Springs approaching Donner Summit. At Norden the train goes into a long tunnel before coming out over Donner Lake and passing through "the other Horshoe Curve," the curve at Cold Stream Canyon.

At Nyack I caught this Amtrak California Zephyr, the eastbound #6 with #199 at the front.

The second locomotive was number 52.

Like the Fun Train and the Snow Train, the Amtrak California Zephyr connects San Francisco (via Emeryville) with Chicago over the old emigrant trails.

The route in the Sierra Nevada is nearly always on the original Transcontinental Railroad route.
