A wonderful collection of footage, this DVD examines the expansion of the American railroad system. You’ll meet the minds behind the westward expansion and trace the development of rail travel in America from 1800 to the end of the steam era, beginning with the first movements west from the 13 colonies to the crossing of the Mississippi River and the need for time zones, the difficulty laying lines through the Rocky Mountains, the connection of the West and East Coasts, and the last days of steam. B&W and color, 1 hr. 17 min.
