Years ago Joanie and I traveled to Denver on Amtrak’s California Zepher and they had a docent from the Calif RR museum on the train. I couldn’t miss out hearing what he had to say and a I asked a LOT of questions as well. The docent asked me if I had ever been up at the summit before and I answered LOTS of times, but this was the first time I had been in those snow sheds legally though.

As a aside, camping around the Donner pass area is a great place to spend summer vacations, and did I mention they have trains up there?
