Union Pacific followed the exploits of Bart McClelland, played by Morrow, as he supervised the construction and extension of the Union Pacific Railroad. McClelland was mostly concerned with right-of-way issues, which could be affected by stubborn landowners, ranchers, Indians, outlaws, and other factors. Helping McClelland with his work was surveyor Billy Kincaid, played by Pratt. Susan Cummings rounded out the cast, playing Georgia, proprietor of the Golden Nugget Saloon, the rolling bar that followed the railroad workers along the tracks. Union Pacific never developed a following, and was cancelled after one season.
