Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Overland Monthly, Vol. 14: Devoted to the Development of the Country; January July, 1875
The vast convenience and the matter able gloom of these intestinal railways left me, after ten minutes of dingy sus pense, in a state of perplexity bordering on Fleet Street, which was just what I desired; and I had no sooner come to the surface in London proper than I ran against Temple Bar!
For a moment, I could think of noth ing but the top-cover of the old pink magazine; but I next thought of my let ters, and at once began climbing up the street, by the house-numbers, until I came to the omoe of the Frolic.

The topographical engineers engag ed in the various reconnoissances were made acquainted with the fact that the Rocky Mountain chain, owing to it's long 510pes, offered no great obstacles to a railway. But the Sierra Nevada pre sented the most serious difficulties. Its water sheds were short and abrupt. They were cut with frightful gorges. Snows fell in the higher altitudes to the depth of from twenty-five to forty feet in the winter.
