The year was 1869 and America had just completed the greatest building achievement in its history--the Transcontinental Railroad. A thin ribbon of steel and wood now connected East and West. But the fledgling country now faced an even greater challenge--how to harness the awesome potential of the railroad to tame the still wide-open and wild West.

Thanks. An interesting movie. But to be strictly accurate I think that what really tamed the West was not so much the railroad but the killing or removal of the existing inhabitants.
