First there's fire on the tracks a few miles short of Whiskey Flat, then cannon shots turn the Great Western's locomotive into a mass of twisted steel. Tempers flare and the stakes are high as two rival railroads race to drive a spur through Wolf Creek Pass -- a line that will make a fortune freighting gold and silver from the rich Colorado mines.
Suddenly Clay Torn stands alone against vicious saboteurs led by men who think their powerful political connections put them above the law. But Judge Torn is going to make sure the Great Western gets a fair shake -- even if it means giving Coastal & Northern a righteous run for the money.
