"Some of the most accomplished scholars of railroad history...tell the story of these enterprises which totally re-shaped the western landscape."-
The Michigan Railfan
After Promontory profiles the history and heritage behind the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States. Starting with the original Union Pacific-Central Pacific lines that met at Promontory Summit, Utah, in 1869, the book expands the narrative by considering all of the transcontinental routes in the United States and examining their impact on building this great nation.
Exquisitely illustrated with full color photographs,
After Promontory divides the western United States into three regions-central, southern, and northern-and offers a deep look at the transcontinental routes of each one. Included are contributions by such renowned railroad historians as Maury Klein, Keith Bryant, Don Hofsommer, H. Roger Grant, and Rob Krebs.
