The Railroad Empire DVD KCSM TV

The transcontinental railroad, completed in 1869, linked California with the rest of the nation and transformed the social and political landscape of the Golden State.

The "Iron Horse" ushered in a new era of economic expansion, and the Californians who controlled this new industry became the wealthiest and most powerful men of their generation.

Historical footage depicts the painstaking progress of the ribbon of iron through the Sierras. "The Railroad Empire" explores a vital moment in California's history and its impact on the development of a nation.

Producers wish to acknowledge the co-operation of the California State Railroad Museum in the production of this documentary, and for the photos reproduced on this video cover.
