Recensione:

"Rythmic text and engaging illustrations capture the drama and excitement of the race to build the transcontinental railroad in the 1860's. . . An exciting and well-paced package." --School Library Journal, starred review

"Kay and McCurdy create a wonder-working setting for their book on the story behind the first transcontinental rail line." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Anyone with the least interest in trains will be enthralled with the huge barracks riding on flatcars, the snowplow structure covering the whole engine, and the elegant old passenger trains. . . . A strong, memorable taste of events that will surely enliven many a social studies lesson." --Horn Book
