 Donner Pass tunnels

Just been on the California Zephyr and a very good trip it was too.  All the
potential pitfalls people logged on trip advisor did not seem to arise. My
question is on the westbound trip through the Donner Pass, we seemed to go
through only 1 real tunnel (
thought lots of snowsheds) between Truckee and Colfax.  Am I right with this
or did I miscount them?  Also it was on a section of the western ascent and
was where there were 2 tunnel portals and the date on them was something like
1880's or 1860's.  Been 
trying ever since to work out which ones they were and how many have now been
bypassed since? Any helpful pointers would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Martin
