Documentary traces railroad construction, and Wyoming’s origin
A new documentary shows how the construction of the transcontinental railroad helped shape Wyoming into the place it is today.
Producer Tom Manning says the railroad is the reason that towns like Cheyenne, Laramie and Rock Springs exist.
“Without the transcontinental railroad going across Wyoming, of course, there would be no Wyoming,” Manning said. “You know, it was really quite a vast emptiness out there.”
The film will premiere on Wyoming PBS on Sunday, March 10th at 7 p.m.
