Tunnels by PCT & Emigrant Trails

Eight of us hiked from the PCT south from old highway 40 to the Mt. Judah loop trail, then to the Emigrant Trail that takes off between Donner Peak and Mt. Judah. From between Judah and Donner, the trail heads down towards Cold Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Towards the bottom we cut over on a dirt road to the railroad beds. From the top of a tunnel we watched a very long freight train emerge below us. We wondered how movie actors manage to jump on top of a moving train and not roll off. We returned via the railroad tunnels using flashlights for the darkest sections. 

Emerging train. 

 Now where did I put that flashlight?
