Pacific Crest 2016: The Union

Pacific Crest is proud to announce our 2016 program, The Union.

“This is the story of the first transcontinental railroad; the greatest, most daring engineering effort the country had yet seen. Imagine the task.

The idea was to span the west with iron rails and to build a railroad across two-thirds of the continent on some of the most difficult terrain on earth. Not in all that distance, not in 1,700 miles, was there a single settlement of any appreciable size. The railroad would join what essentially were two different countries: California and back East.

They called it a work of giants. But like all great stories, it’s about the people.”

– David McCulloch, “The Iron Road” for The American Experience, PBS

Using current music and unique textures, this five-part program will explore a modernized twist on one of America’s biggest historical accomplishments. Not only did the railroad connect the East and West, it connected people and created a Union, one spike at a time.
