Hello, I will be taking my first train in the snow on January 15 from Oakland/Emeryville to Reno.
I am a bit "scared," I know there will be LOTS of snow over Donner Pass during this time of the year, but what would it take for the Zephyr to be "stranded" or severely delayed?
I don't want to be on a train stuck in the mountains w/o power or food for hours at a time.
Has this ever happened in recent times? Should I be worried? Didn't this happen a long time ago to a Union Pacific passenger train in the 50s?
What is the snow forecast looking like for Donner Pass this winter?
