    The exhibit-timed to also commemorate the 140th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad-has been created especially for the California State Railroad Museum by Guest Curator Peter A. Hansen with support from the California State Railroad Museum Foundation. It demonstrates how Lincoln was instrumental in determining the role of American railroads in the transportation and early movement of crops and, eventually, even California gold. Additionally, the exhibit content includes interesting elements from Lincoln's law career as it related to key issues concerning the railroad. "The Rail Splitter and the Railroads" will be showcased in the Museum's Theater Mezzanine Gallery through February 15, 2010.
