In February 1854 the first railroad from the East reached the Mississippi; by the end of the nineteenth century five major transcontinental railroads linked the East Coast with the Pacific Ocean and thousands of miles of tracks criss-crossed the West, a vast and viral land just a few years before.
The story of this extraordinary undertaking is one of breathtaking technological ingenuity, other-worldy idealism, and all-too-worldy greed...
