End Of Track
Airs Sunday, March 10 at 7:00 PM
End of Track is the story of the Transcontinental Railroad's construction march across southern Wyoming and the growing pains of a state in its infancy. It's a story of incredible engineering achievements and boisterous "Hell on Wheels" towns. A tale of greed and corruption, murder and mayhem. An account of a clash of cultures and Native American retaliation. But it's also a story of hope and ambition, determination and unimagined success.
End of Track follows the progress of the surveyors and engineers, the graders and tracklayers from Cheyenne to Evanston in 1868. It delves into the lives of merchants and saloon keepers, gamblers and outlaws, new residents and famous visitors. Along the way the story moves up vertically in time to fully explore how the railroad changed the lives of people along its path.
