The year is 1912. Technology is fueling amazing growth in American infrastructure. Innovative engineering projects like the spectacular Tunkannock Creek Viaduct railroad bridge are being built all over the country by workers from all over the world. Workers like Donato, from Italy, are bringing their own customs and traditions along with their hopes and dreams to their new home. Take a ride on the railroad as it transports this country and residents like Mary in small towns like Nicholson, Pennsylvania to a world they could never have imagined.

This amazing story is brought to life with hand-colored photographs from the collection of the Steamtown National Historic Site railroad museum along with lively caricatures by Kim Wood.
