Snowsheds Central Pacific RR

This view of the Snowsheds is taken from alongside Tunnel Seven looking East. The original Stereoview shows the vents on top of the structure which helped the smoke from the locomotives escape. Riders on the train would have been deprived of light, fresh air, and the great views of the lake below and mountains above. 39° 18.941'N 120° 19.303'W
