[edit] Race for the Railroad

Two rival rail companies, led by Charles Crocker of the Central Pacific and Thomas Durant of the Union Pacific, will stop at nothing to best each other while competing to create the most ambitious engineering project the world has ever seen--an unprecedented railroad that crosses through the wild American continent and unites a divided nation.

[edit] Liberty Rising

A little-known 19th Century French artist embarks on an impossible 20-year odyssey to build the tallest statue in the world, and erect it on U.S. soil. His 225-ton colossus known as "The Statue of Liberty" will not only become the ultimate emblem of American identity, but will go on to change the way tall structures are built.
