Opening gambits (1853-1874)
Lines upon the map
Learning the rails
An interruption of war
Transcontinental by any name
The Santa Fe joins the fray
Straight west from Denver
"Why is it we have so many bitter enemies?"
Contested empire (1874-1889)
Showdown at Yuma
Impasse at Raton
Battle royal for the gorge
Handshake at Deming
West across Texas
Transcontinental at last
Battling for California
Gould again
To the halls of Montezuma
California for a dollar
Santa Fe all the way (1889-1909)
Making the markets
Canyon dreams and schemes
The boom goes bust
Still west from Denver
Top of the heap
Dueling streamliners.
