Plots(1)
Competing rail lines Denver & the Rio Grand and Canyon City & San Juan take on each other and the untamed wilderness of the Rockies in the 1870s in order to finish a tie-line through Denver. Bullets fly and locomotives smash head-on as the companies each do all within their power to be first across the mountains. Real, full-size trains were used in the thrilling action sequences.
