If you are a "Train Expert" like Mr. Weiskopf is, you will enjoy this book.
It is an excellent account about the trains in this era (and area). The research is very detailed. Well worth the price. How do I get my copy signed!

Several railroads were chartered by the Republic of Texas, but the first line built was the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado, which began construction near the Port of Houston Turning Basin in 1851. The BBB&C would become the oldest segment of the country's first transcontinental railroad under sole ownership: the Southern Pacific's Sunset Route, connecting New Orleans and Los Angeles and completed in 1883.
