Pocatello was founded as a station on the narrow-gauge Utah and Northern Railway in 1878, and it has been a railroad town ever since.

In William Francis Bailey's 'The Story of the First Trans-Continental Railroad', the reader is taken on a fascinating journey through the historical context and construction of the monumental railroad that connected the East and West coasts ...

Business scholars, economists, railroad buffs, and anyone interested in transportation and federal regulation will find this book an invaluable tool.
