Bravo. This is just what I hoped for in a Central Pacific Railroad article. Unfortunately, the Union Pacific Railroad doesn't meet this standard. Just a couple of minor things. If I could source it, I'd add something about the Union Pacific using Irish immigrant labor (not Chinese, like most people think), and that railways today don't get the subsidies & general revenue spending highways do (which maybe isn't for here...), based on (I think) It's a Sprawl World.
