EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1877 captures the determination and ingenuity of the Central Pacific Railroad as it raced towards Utah in competition with the Union Pacific. The image showcases one of the many timber trestles that were constructed to bridge the High Sierra chasms, allowing trains to traverse the rugged terrain.
Taken at Secrettown Trestle, located 62 miles from Sacramento on the western slope of the Sierras, this photograph is a testament to the incredible engineering feats accomplished during this era. The intricate network of wooden beams and supports stretches across a vast expanse, showcasing both the scale of construction and the beauty of nature surrounding it.
The image evokes a sense of adventure and progress, highlighting how railroads played a crucial role in connecting distant regions and shaping America's growth. It serves as a reminder of our ability to overcome obstacles through innovation and hard work.
