High Road to Promontory is the story of the Central Pacific's epic struggle to lay rails across the fearsome wall of the Sierra Nevada in the face of every natural and man-made obstacle that could be faced. They said "It can't be done" but with the exercise of vision, money and engineering muscle the determined railroad men tied the Atlantic to the Pacific with bands of steel that opened the West and forever changed its history.
