Anyone know where this happened? The article says "near Yuba pass" but Yuba Pass is on the 49, far north of Donner Pass and not on the RR line. It also mentions the rescue train from Reno got stuck at Soda Springs, which _is_ on the RR line and west of Donner Pass.
EDIT: Seems to be more detail (and better pictures) here:
