Walking the Grade:
Contemporary Views of the Pacific Railroad
Leland Stanford Mansion SHP
April 11, 2009 — March 31, 2010
Beginning on April 11 and kicking off the “Lincoln’s California Legacy” focus, the Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park will host an exhibit “Walking the Grade: Contemporary Views of the Pacific Railroad” that, by its very nature, underscores Lincoln’s broad-ranging vision for the future of American railroads. The western half of the Transcontinental Railroad will be the focus for this exhibit, which includes nearly two dozen black and white photographs by respected rail photographer Shen-Chih (Sam) Cheng plus artifacts highlighting Chinese rail workers. The compelling images highlight the original Central Pacific route as it looks today. The “Walking the Grade” exhibit will be located in the Mansion’s majestic ballroom and will continue until March 31, 2010.
