Times books, engelstalig, the epic story of the transcontinental railroad; goede staat.


The union pacific and central pacific railroads were officially joined on may 10, 1869 at promontory point, utah, with the driving of a golden spike. This historic ceremony marked the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. Spanning the sierras and the “great american desert,” the tracks connected san francisco to council bluffs, iowa. A great and shining road is the exciting story of a mammoth feat that called forth entrepreneurial daring, financial wizardry, technological innovation, political courage and chicanery, and the heroism of thousands of laborers.
