The donner snow sheds are an awesome hike filled with sooooo much artwork. I work for the railroad and have to use these old tunnels to access our newer track pretty regularly.
Thanks for this video. Just to be clear, "the Chinese" were skilled Guangdong contract labourers, who happened to be the best engineering workers in the world. Many of their world-record wooden trestles all through the Rockies are still in use by today's 2-mile freight trains. And yes, the death toll along the CPR line alone was one worker per mile.
Looking at this grand effort made me feel the history. Just imagining doing all this work of cleaning out the TNT explosions, is back breaking. So many of these workers died.

Glad Banksy was there to commemorate the role of Chinese railway workers in Donner Pass!
Someone did a nice bit of art
