Theodore Judah was called Crazy Judah for a good reason. Getting from the East Coast to the West took four to six months by ship or wagon. Everyone was eager to speed the process up, but they thought his idea for a transcontinental railroad was nuts.

Theodore Judah was called Crazy Judah for a good reason. But Judah (1826-63) didn’t live to see his dream realized.

Theodore Dehone Judah (March 4, 1826 – November 2, 1863) was an American railroad and civil engineer who was a central figure in the original promotion, establishment, and design of the First Transcontinental Railroad

Theodore Dehone Judah (March 4, 1826 – November 2, 1863) was an American railroad and civil engineer who was a central figure in the original promotion, establishment, and design of the First Transcontinental Railroad. He found investors for what became the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR). As chief engineer, he performed much of the land survey work to determine the best route for the railroad over the Sierra Nevada mountains, which was completed six years after his death.

Well-written biography of Theodore Judah, the man who found route through the Sierra mountains for the transcontinental railroad, helped incorporate the Central Pacific Railway, and pushed the railroad bill of 1862 through the House and Senate. 207 pages with index and bibliography.
