Originally released on DVD in 2013, This program takes a look at Union Pacific's legendary main line between Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming.
In Southeast Wyoming, the Laramie Mountains mark the division between the Great Plains and the Rockies. Rising to over 9,500 feet above sea-level, the transition from prairie to mountains is subtle, except for the Sherman Granite rock outcroppings which dominate the landscape. Three sets of steel rails twist and wind through this remarkable setting with a history dating back to the First Transcontinental Railroad.
