    12 Derpy in a Transcontinental Railroad tunnel - TwiConnor

    Art image 12
    Derpy inside a former Central Pacific Railroad / Southern Pacific Railroad tunnel at Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California. Over the course of three years in the 1860s, Central Pacific laborers (of whom the majority were Chinese migrants) blasted their way through this granite rock, at a significant human cost. Their hard work and sacrifice allowed for the completion of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, linking the east and west coasts of America by rail for the first time.

Not to mention the meeting with one of the MLP G5 designers nearby haha!
