4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent older resource on the building of the railroad, May 4, 2007
By 
Arthur M. Bullock (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The First Transcontinental Railroad: Central Pacific, Union Pacific (The Railroads) (Hardcover)
If you are only going to read one book on this subject, I'd suggest Nothing Like It In the World : The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-1869 or Empire Express: Building the First Transcontinental Railroad. Galloway died in 1943, and his work has often been used as a source for the more recent books in the field, like those just mentioned. However, for anyone with a deeper interest in the subject, this is a treasure-trove of detail. Galloway was a prominent civil engineer with much railroad experience, and he brings a unique perspective to the subject.
