   Donner Pass tunnels

   Just been on the California Zephyr and a very good trip it was too.  All the   
   potential pitfalls people logged on trip advisor did not seem to arise. My   
   question is on the westbound trip through the Donner Pass, we seemed to go   
   through only 1 real tunnel (   
   thought lots of snowsheds) between Truckee and Colfax.  Am I right with this   
   or did I miscount them?  Also it was on a section of the western ascent and   
   was where there were 2 tunnel portals and the date on them was something like   
   1880's or 1860's.  Been    
   trying ever since to work out which ones they were and how many have now been   
   bypassed since? Any helpful pointers would be appreciated.   
      
   Many thanks,   
   Martin
