PSRHS Historical TimeTable

The PSRHS Historical Timetable was created to depict the relative location of historic sites along the famous Donner Pass Route and the original Transcontinental Railroad.  This timetable spans the periods of ownership by the Central Pacific Railroad, Southern Pacific Railroad and most recently the Union Pacific Railroad.  Baseline mileposts were taken from the 2009 UP timetable for the Roseville sub; thus MP locations in the historic timetable can be referenced to current milepost markers along the route.  Some intermediate or historic locations are interpretation as the different railroads over time have adjusted the mileage along the route.

Use online - You may click on Station Names in blue and you will hyperlink to a descriptive page showing the evolution of that station

Printed Copy - You may download and print a copy for your personal use.  The Timetable is designed to print on an 8-1/2 x 11 in piece of paper.
