This vibrant and historic lithograph, titled "Railroad Through to the Pacific" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created by Currier & Ives in 1870, it captures the spirit of westward expansion and the relentless push for progress during that era. The scene unfolds amidst a lush forest landscape, where loggers work tirelessly to clear the way for the transcontinental railway line. The steam train chugs along with determination, symbolizing both technological advancement and human ambition.

The image showcases not only the physical infrastructure being built but also represents an emblematic shift in American society. It marks an era when pioneers ventured into uncharted territories, seeking opportunities and carving out their destinies against all odds. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into North America's wild west during its formative years.
