    Here the Original Lincoln Highway Trail crosses over the old Snow Tunnel 6 of the Railway across Donner Pass. The train has been routed through a new, longer tunnel a mile further south, so the historic tunnels are now a snow-free trail open to explore

    Tunnel 6 was built by Chinese laborers in 1866 by hand. They broke and hauled off solid granite rock, working in harsh conditions. They built Tunnel 6, the longest tunnel in the Sierra Crossing. Today, you can still walk through the tunnel and imagine what a feat building it by hand was.
