Union Pacific (TV series)

Union Pacific is a Western television series starring Jeff Morrow, Judson Pratt, and Susan Cummings that aired in television syndication from 1958 until 1959. This show was undoubtedly inspired by the classic film also named Union Pacific, starring Joel McCrea, Barbara Stanwyck, and Robert Preston.

Union Pacific followed the exploits of Bart McClelland, played by Morrow, as he supervised the construction and extension of the Union Pacific Railroad. McClelland was mostly concerned with right-of-way issues, which could be affected by stubborn landowners, ranchers, Indians, outlaws, and other factors. Helping McClelland with his work was surveyor Billy Kincaid, played by Pratt. Susan Cummings rounded out the cast, playing Georgia, proprietor of the Golden Nugget Saloon, the rolling bar that followed the railroad workers along the tracks. Union Pacific never developed a following, and was cancelled after one season.
