The electrifying moment--the realization of a dream first pursued by a farsighted and determined engineer decades earlier--marked the culmination of six years of grueling work. Peopled by the ingenious entrepreneurs whose unscrupulous financing got the line laid, the brilliant engineers who charted the railroad's course and hurdled the geological obstacles in its way, the armies of workers who labored relentlessly on the enterprise, and the Native Americans whose lives were destroyed in its wake, this film presents a remarkable story of greed, innovation, and gritty determination. It reveals both why the railroad was built and how it would shape the nation, while shedding light on the politics and culture of mid-nineteenth century America. 000455379 538__ $$aDVD; Region 1, NTSC; stereo; full screen presentation. 000455379 546__ $$aIn English; closed-captioned. 000455379 61020 $$aCentral Pacific Railroad Company$$xHistory. 000455379 61020 $$aUnion Pacific Railroad Company$$xHistory. 000455379 650_0 $$aRailroads$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000455379 650_0 $$aRailroads$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000455379 650_0 $$aRailroad construction workers$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000455379 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$zGreat Basin. 000455379 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$zWest (U.S.) 000455379 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000455379 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xGovernment relations$$y1789-1869. 000455379 651_0 $$aPromontory Point (Utah : Cape) 000455379 651_0 $$aWest (U.S.)$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000455379 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000455379 655_7 $$aDocumentary television programs.$$2lcgft 000455379 7001_ $$aZwonitzer, Mark.$$4aus$$4drt$$4prd 000455379 7001_ $$aChin, Michael.$$4drt$$4cng 000455379 7001_ $$aMurphy, Michael,$$d1938- 000455379 7102_ $$aPublic Broadcasting Service (U.S.) 000455379 7102_ $$aHidden Hill Productions. 000455379 7102_ $$aWGBH Educational Foundation. 000455379 7102_ $$aWGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.) 000455379 7102_ $$aPBS Home Video. 000455379 7300_ $$aAmerican experience (Television program) 000455379 85200 $$bdvd$$hHE2751$$i.T736$$i2006 000455379 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:455379$$pGLOBAL_SET 000455379 980__ $$aBIB 000455379 980__ $$aDVD
