Snowbound: Hundreds Saved From Train Stalled 4 Days. Dramatic scenes of the rescue high in the Sierras at historic Donner Pass. Hundreds of passengers and crewmen of streamliner stalled for days by blizzards are finally rescued as army vehicles and plows break through in the nick of time. Interesting aerial shot of snow-covered train high up in very snowy mountains. Various other shots of the train and scenery. VS police and "rescue train" at station, presumably before the rescue. Man loads supplies onto helicopter. POV shots from relief train traveling through snowy area. VS rescuers on the way. VS people walking through snowy landscape, probably survivors being led to safety. Disaster averted.
