Mvt. 2: Iron Horse / Expanse of the Frontier begins with the blast of a steam engine horn and its chugging engine as it gains momentum across The Great Plains. As the railroad expands westward across the American countryside, it brings courageous settlers in search of a new beginning in the Wild West.

Mvt. 3: Boom Town / Gold Rush opens in the middle of a gold mining boom town, alive with midday commotion. The discovery of gold in the hills of California brings wave after wave of eager settlers, adding to the hustle and bustle.
