    Winter Rails Over Donner - Night of the Flanger on DVD by Donner Rails
    The first of three epic snow service stories, this production sub-titled Night of the Flanger is available now.
    Over three years in the making, Winter Rails Over Donner - Night of the Flanger tells the story of nature's bitter legacy of snow on the mountain each winter season and the railroad's annual effort to keep a green light burning on the mainline.
    Learn about the history of weather, snow sheds, and snow clearing equipment used on the mountain. Learn about the strategies of deployment and how the Flanger and other snow clearing equipment work together to clear snow and keep the rails open. Find out how equipment is "turned" on the Balloon Track and "flipped" back to Truckee.
    Hear the real inside story from the "Bear", legendary boss of Espee's snow service crews who worked Donner Pass. Hear colorful stories from Richard Steinheimer, famed railroad photographer. Learn about Donner's fascinating railroad history from Ken Yeo, local railroad historian; and hear from Mike Pechner, UP's weather forecast consultant for Donner, and much more.
    Witness white-out conditions through the diesel cab's rotating windows, forcing our flanger crew to pause their night operations to dig out switches in the light of their diesel ditch lights. Experience the spectacular camera views of the flanging operation as snow is shot careening over banks and bridges with breathtaking scenery in its path.
    Hear the engineer & conductor explain details of the flanger operation. Experience what it's really like to ride inside the flanger "box".

    Almost all of the DVD's we carry are NOT regionally encoded (sometimes refered as Region Code 0) which means they will play in any DVD player in the world that is capable of NTSC format. Many DVD players found in countries that use PAL format can also play NTSC format as well.
    A little bit about Train Video Depot
    Our business philosophy on our website and on E-Bay is to provide excellent customer service to our customers. Really! We go out of our way to make sure you receive your purchase as quickly as possible. If there are any problems or you have any questions, we'll make sure they're addressed quickly.
    Shipping
    We have built this business on getting orders out the SAME DAY whenever possible. Just take a look at our feedback comments and you'll surely notice that delivery speed is one thing that keeps showing up in the comments. Also, as an E-Bay shopper ourselves, we have found that many sellers super-inflate the shipping costs. We don't feel a company should profit from the shipping charges. We set very fair shipping charges to the US, Canada and International countries.
    For US shipments we use USPS First Class mail which is usually 1-3 days (Monday-Saturday) MAX. If you order 3 or more, that method is often bumped to Priority service which in some cases will shorten delivery time by a day.
    International Shipments are sent USPS Global Air and can take anywhere from 4 days to 12 days
    ON AVERAGE
