Railroaders, I just found an excellent 25 page article titled Theodore Judah and the Blazing of the First Transcontinental Railroad Over the Sierra Nevadas on the web. Here is the link (hope this works):

Thanks a lot for sharing this with all of us. I hope that as time goes by more people will become interested participants in the, "Railroad History Section," here. We all have something to offer if we take the time.
As far as the article here goes, I found it interesting and a testament to the greatness of those that had the vision and the unstoppable fortitude to build and tame this vast land we live in. :)
