Steam Everywhere
The NNRW locomotive emits steam from every orifice as I maneuver around, determined to capture the perfect shot. After much effort, I finally succeeded in getting the perspective I wanted.

The history of railroads in the western U.S. began in the mid-19th century, with the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 marking a pivotal moment. This monumental project, built by the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads, connected the eastern rail network with the Pacific coast, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and mail across vast distances. The construction was labor-intensive and dangerous, often involving immigrant labor, notably Chinese workers, who faced harsh conditions. The expansion of railroads spurred economic growth, leading to the development of towns and industries. Railroads became vital for the mining boom, agricultural expansion, and overall settlement of the West, leaving an enduring legacy on the region's development and cultural landscape.
