Lakeridge (Andover) Snowsheds about 1915 - Photographer unknown - This scene was part of a promotional brochure put out by the railroad to illustrate the route through the Sierras. The east end of Tunnel 13 exits Schallenberger Ridge here and continues down to Coldstream Valley and then Donner Lake. Tinker Knob and Anderson Peak are on the horizon. Bill Oudegeest noted the inner and outer snowshed walls, which allowed a section to be rolled back inside. All those projects took lumber, and the early scene shows a lot of open slopes. Today the forest is coming back. In 1925 a second tunnel and track were built next to the original.
