	Judah
		As a child of twelve, Judah attended an engineering school called Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but at the age of thirteen, his mother could no longer afford his tuition, and rather than joining the Navy per his mother's request, he accepted a job as a surveyor's assistant on the Schenectady and Troy Railroad.
		His wife, Anna, believed in Judah's dream, even if people called him "Crazy Judah." She thought that Judah needed visuals to persuade people to build the railroad, so she began making charts, maps, and graphs of his calculations.
		However, Judah would now have to find a way to build through the Sierra Mountains, proving to be the largest barrier to overcome to date.

	Sierra Sun - Life
		Judah was concerned that satisfied with their earnings from the toll road, the Big Four might become reluctant to push the track east of Dutch Flat and into the more challenging and difficult terrain of the High Sierra.
		Judah's determination to wrest control of the Central Pacific is evident in a letter he wrote to his good friend, Dutch Flat druggist Doc Strong, the man who had shown the engineer the best route through the Sierra.
		Judah braved the deluge and dashed into a nearby store to buy a large umbrella, which he used to escort women and children from the train to the ship that would carry them north.
