As the inaugural 2015 Truckee Railroad History Alive! series program, Dr. Barbara Czerwinski provided a lively, entertaining evening discussion on the west-bound streamliner City of San Francisco that was snowbound for 4 days in the Sierra Nevada in January 1952. Dr. Czerwinski presented the program from the point of view of the human side of the snowbound streamliner, its passengers and the rescuers. Truckee's history is replete with stories of the railroads and dealing with the "storm king." The story of this 1952 snowbound train is one of the monumental stories of the Sierra that captured the nation's attention at the time. For more details and some photos, please see this link from Life magazine from January 28, 1952. Link. Truckee played a key role in the rescue operations. Dr. Czerwinski presented just some of the highlights of what became a successful rescue from the perspective of those who were part of the rescue efforts and/or surviving family members and their stories of passengers and rescue workers.
