A winter alone in the Wyoming mountains. A broadax, a frozen river, and a paycheck that only came if you could swing that ax fast enough. This episode tells the brutal, overlooked story of the tie hacks — the men who cut, shaped, and floated millions of railroad ties that kept America’s trains running.
From Charles Delony’s 1867 contract on the Green River to the roaring spring tie drives, you’ll follow the entire journey of a single tie: from living tree to hand-hewn beam, to a dangerous river jam, to the tracks that carried soldiers, settlers, and freight across the West. We’ll explore the isolation of winter camps, the piece-rate pay system, the river rats who broke deadly logjams, and the memorials that still stand in Wyoming’s forests today.
If you’re into true frontier history, forgotten workers, and the real cost of “progress,” this quiet, atmospheric documentary is for you. Settle in, grab a blanket, and step into six months of cold, hard labor in the age of the iron horse.
