This latest information on the geopolitical reasoning behind the transcontinental railroad certainly does clarify and ring true.  Moreover, it suggests that the motive behind the transcontinental railroad was uniquely different from the motives behind the ensuing age of railway fever where every town wanted a railroad.  <o:p></o:p> Personally, I find no such ring of truth to what has been described of White’s book.  He seems to conclude that all railroad construction was a scam to defraud the public on the part of corporations in bed with the government; to execute railroad projects, which were destructive and unnecessary.  This portrayal of corporations seems way too familiar as a modern-day cliché for me to believe that White is not looking back at history through this modern lens of corporate disdain.
