Seven years later, on May 10, 1869, an overwhelmingly immigrant labor force completed the task when a rail line was join in Promontory, Utah. The states had become united at last.

Río es a la vez un libro de muchos poemas breves de tres versos apenas y un solo poema largo. El río es su eje, su centro y su punto de fuga; la imagen y el orden del mundo. El río es todo: el deseo, la vida, la muerte, la memoria, la construcción, el pretexto, la caricia, lo que sucede, lo que se suspende, lo que cambia. Una de las mayores virtudes de estas páginas es lograr decirlo todo suave y finamente, con la naturalidad con que fluye el agua por el cauce.
