Spring came. The Casementsâ town on wheels clanged into being on the Omaha siding. Timber crews crossed flooded fields 100 miles north and south to begin razing every tree usable for crossties and bridge timbers. The nod came from the War Department. Grenville Dodge and Thomas Durant met in St. Joseph, Missouri, on April 24. By dinnertime Major-General Dodge was on âprolonged leave of absenceâ to serve as chief engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad & Telegraph Company at a salary of $10,000 a year, plus a small bundle of Crédit Mobilier stock. (It was felt expedient to make the stock out in Mrs. Dodgeâs name.)
The next two months would make or break the Union Pacific.
