520    One man among four major industrialists came to dominate 
       the railroad extending from the west to Promontory, Utah 
       more than any other. Whether he was the most capable is 
       open to debate, but he made the essential investment at 
       the most crucial moment. For this, he was given the keys 
       to the entire industry in the West and sat atop Nob Hill 
       as the financial king of San Francisco. In the process, he
       would become California's governor, and he would wind up 
       lending his name to one of the country's most prestigious 
       universities. That man was none other than a native New 
       Yorker named Leland Stanford.
