<p><strong>Keddie Wye:</strong> Here is a link to a satellite photo on Google maps: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/v5bFoykX4tr">https://goo.gl/maps/v5bFoykX4tr</a></p> <p>The state highway 70/89 passes the bridges. To the north/west the highway goes to Oroville, to the south/east to Quincy and Portola. When I was there the last time (25 years ago) there was parking possible at the street side.</p> <p>One can drive down into the valley and up again the other side to Keddie station.</p> <p><strong>Donner Pass:</strong> Here is a link to a satellite photo again. <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/jH5B4BGKzvk">https://goo.gl/maps/jH5B4BGKzvk</a></p> <p>It shows Norden and the UP. I suggest that you move along the rails to the left and look for roads crossing the rails. <br />- Soda Springs is such a location just of the Donner Pass Rd <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/Lfva7LqktDK2">https://goo.gl/maps/Lfva7LqktDK2</a><br />- Yuba Pass exit of I80 is another place with parking at the side of exit ramp <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/9VAjN7BPHHp">https://goo.gl/maps/9VAjN7BPHHp</a><br />- Here near Emigrant Gap might be another place: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/pxXFqHCGceT2">https://goo.gl/maps/pxXFqHCGceT2</a><br /><br />If you move along as I did youl find other locations like Blue Canyon a few miles drive off I80 on Blue Canyon Rd.<br />Easy access is in Colfax with its Amtrak stop.</p> <p>Most of the time the track is quite off the I80, but there are a number more exits with roads leading to the tracks.</p> <p>There are a lot of places to choose from. I hope Google maps/satellite help choose those with easy access and give a hint about visibility.</p> <p>On the east side of Donner Pass the access is very difficult until Truckee. From there the tracks follow largely I80 and other roads.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
