About this listen
Five families with an American dream. One railroad to span a nation. Empires will rise. Relationships will crumble.
Collis Huntington, the last living member of the Associates, now wants to set the record straight. Huntington invites his most critical reporter into his home for the interview of the century. As his story of the Central Pacific Railroad Company unfolds, truths emerge.
Central Pacific is in a race for money and land against the Union Pacific back east.
The inhumane conditions laborers on both sides of the line must endure.
Manipulation and greed within the Central Pacific itself.
A Gilded Age Victorian drama replete with corruption, affairs, conspiracies, corporate espionage, and sways of power. A single engineering marvel will transform them from dusty Sacramento store clerks to the most powerful men on Earth.
