Ford, a hard-driving railroad man, starts the story in the cab of a snowbound narrow-gauge engine ten thousand feet up Plug Mountain. Pushing a mountain railroad through to completion, he must handle wrecked switches, rough construction camps and saloon keepers, and the financiers in the East who hold his road’s fate in their hands.
