In 1832, in Pennsylvania's backwoods, Irish immigrants were building one of the America's first railroads.
The workers were building Mile 59 of Philadelphia to Pittsburgh mainline, at a place known as Duffy's Cut.
They left Ireland, a land almost destroyed by starvation, disease, and crime, in hopes of a new life, but within few days they would all be dead and their bodies would be concealed in an unmarked tomb.
