HIGH IRON: A NEVADA RAILROAD REIMAGINED
The Mojave Desert doesn't forgive, and it certainly doesn't forget.
The Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad (T&T) was a desert gamble that turned into a ghost story after 1940. In an alternative timeline, the T&T was reborn to serve the still closed Yucca mountain repository on life support, waiting to die again without making a single dollar
Enter RJ Harrington. A trucking magnate forced into a consultant retirement by corporate sharks, RJ knows that when the world tells you a billion-dollar asset is trash, you've found the best kind of opportunity. He liquidates his remaining empire to win a government auction for the Ludlow assets, betting his last dime that he can resurrect the High Iron.
But RJ isn't doing it alone. He's building a team from the scrap heap of the modern economy: and planning to turn it into a new legend.
he must tackle historians, eco terrorists, politicians and the locals in order to win
In a world obsessed with Bureaucracy, RJ Harrington is about to prove that real progress is measured in 136-pound steel, diesel fuel, and the will to hold the line.
The gamble is on. The tracks are clear. And the stakes are high in Nevada
