It is a somewhat gloomy scene just east of Tunnel 1 as a crazy late (17 hours) eastbound Zephyr crosses the Blue Mountain grade crossing. The train should have crossed this crossing around 5:30pm the previous night, but snow storms on Donner Pass have been wreaking havoc on rail traffic. This train departed Emeryville, CA seven hours late two days earlier, and lost an additional ten hours on the journey toward Denver.
