All aboard! The outgoing and flirty conductor greets you at the museum that houses more than 20 restored locomotives and railroad cars. The Central Pacific Railroad Company built railroad tracks headed east and the Union Pacific, starting from Omaha, Nebraska headed west. The two railroaded companies met in Utah and passengers and cargo were able to cross the continent in days instead of months. The unappreciated and unrecognized heroes were the Chinese laborers or Coolies who I found their involvement with the transcontinental railroad fascinating.
