5 &ef/oo The West was a wildemess ofprairie, mountains, and plains... a vast hunting ground of the Indians. Transportation was by horse, by foot, or by stagecoach. The adventurous ones Ctlme FU'St... the miners and the trappers, followed by the pioneers with their plows and their Ctlttle, pushing the frontier westwtud, mile by mile. Then CtZme the railroad... gleaming rails over which trains rayed, farther into the raw, new country. Settlers moved in. New towns sprang up. Territories were organized, and soon they bectzme states. And now after a century ofservice, a new, contemporary kind of railroad has emerged. Its methods of moving people and products are modern. The emphasis now is on effrdent, specilllized service and equipment, and in bringing in new industry to keep the West building. Union Pacific's constant objective is to provide superior transportation service. Competition is keen and only the rugged will survive. Union Pacific welcomes the chauenge. Moment of excitement - plains Indillns, desperate for winter food and hides, stampede buffalo onto the tracks stauing an immigrant train heading West.
