Union Pacific

- Season 1

(1958)

McClelland defies the orders of the U.S. Commissioner and builds track through rugged Black Hills terrain. While the Commissioner tries to have McClelland dismissed as railroad building superintendent, the Major discovers that the U.S. representative owns a construction company which would greatly benefit by rerouting the line to a more southerly path.

Money needed to meet salaries and expenses is late and McClelland's creditors aren't happy about it.

Lumber needed to make railroad ties disappears, crippling McClelland's ability to make progress laying track.

The Bisalou brothers and their gang plan to hijack a railroad payroll worth $60,000. With the army off chasing Indians, McClelland and Kincaid must protect the strongbox full of cash from the outlaws by themselves.

A gang of local hardcases picks a fight with McClelland's men.

When a stationmaster is accused of murder, McClelland tries to clear the man by finding the real culprit.

A prominent U.S. Senator is appalled when he finds the Union Pacific's employees spending their off-duty time and money in Georgia's saloon and gambling emporium at the End of Track.

Animosity nearly turns into armed conflict between McClelland's railroad workers and citizens of a Wyoming town.

A sniper with the uncanny ability to shoot bullets off a locomotive's bell threatens the life of Bart McClelland for reasons only understood by the would-be killer.
