History Channel’s documentary The Railroads that Tamed the West explores early travel on the primitive railways in the West. Travel was dangerous and often deadly—bandits, renegades, and hostile tribes threatened every trip. Thousands of miles of new track needed to be laid through untamed wilderness which would eventually open the West to commerce and civilization. Explore the comprehensive history of the Western railroads through rare photographs, spectacular recreations, and expert interviews.
