We of the central pacific railroad
have come far these last few months.
:07:08
Further, I might add,
than our competitors on the union pacific.
:07:13
Bravo.
:07:14
The great race has now begun.
:07:16
We may now look forward to the day
:07:18
when the pacific will be bound
to the atlantic with bands of iron
:07:21
that shall consolidate and
strengthen our ties of nationality
:07:24
and advance with giant strides
the prosperity of our nation.
:07:28
Hear, hear!
:07:30
Can you imagine that?
:07:32
We can have breakfast in san francisco,
:07:34
supper in carson city, all the way
to the mississippi in just 3 days.
:07:38
It is truly remarkable.
:07:40
It's all changing so fast.

Oh... something my mother said
to me before we were married.
:08:16
Her world always seemed
so different than mine.
:08:20
I'd like to see it sometime.
:08:21
I don't see any reason
why we shouldn't see some of it sometime.
:08:25
Ethan...
:08:26
hmm?
:08:27
- Do you mean it?
- Absolutely.
:08:30
That's what we've always said we'd do.
:08:32
We could catch the next stage to denver.
:08:34
Really?
:08:39
You're brilliant, you know that?
:08:41
And exquisitely beautiful.
:08:44
You're truly one of the most
wonderful women I've ever known.
:08:47
And there've been so many, my love.
