If you choose build the Transcontinental Railroad and you want it to be authentic and realistic for them, break them up into two groups. <br />The Union Pacific and Central Pacific. Each building two separate sections. <br /> <br /> The Union Pacific group will have it easy task to build on mostly flat terrain, but will be hung over from drinking and fighting, sick from bad food and unsanitary conditions, get little or nothing done each day until the last day and then do a sloppy job of it. Add to that the Hell on Wheels that followed them. <br /> <br /> The Central Pacific group gets a late start because the lack of money to buy materials but work very hard and well together, eat healthy foods, don't drink or gamble. Their task is much more difficult for them because they have to bore through tunnels made of solid hydrocal and dental stone. Also they often have to wait for rail to arrive. <br /> <br />
