    "What is presented here is a compelling visual narrative of the pre-eminent railroad of the West and of the great terminal it built on the Wyoming plain... Many of the photographs are nearly discovered or published here for the first time. As a consequence, this book is more informative and more unlike any of the others that have come before it. That such a large amount of previously-unpublished material should have existed to this day will come as a surprise to many; that the author was able to compile so much of it into a single volume and present it with such obvious delight should be a joy for all to appreciate."
