The train depot is a noisy place, with cowboys shouting and cows mooing as they are loaded onto the stock cars of the cattle train. While the steam locomotive hisses as it is refilled with water from the spout, smiling ranch owners think of the riches they will receive once the train reaches Chicago. Some of them were smart enough to buy shares in the Railroad, which finally reached the town this Spring. Business is booming!
