History (German)
 Collis Potter Huntington (1821-1900) gilt neben Leland Standford, Charles Crocker und Mark Hopkins als einer der Big Four of California, die mit der Central Pacific Railroad den wesentlichen Teil der Transcontinentalen Eisenbahn bauten. Nach Abschluss dieses Projektes wandte sich Huntington der Idee einer südlichen Ost-West-Verbindung zu und gründete dafür die Southern Pacific Railroad. Zusammen mit Leland Standford war Huntington eindeutig der aktivste der Big Four.
History (English)
 Besides Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker and Mark Hopkins, Collis Potter Huntington (1821-1900) is considered one of the Big Four of California, who with the Central Pacific Railroad built the main part of the Transcontinental Railroad. On completion of this project, Huntington became interested in the idea of a Southern East-West connection and to that end founded the Southern Pacific Railroad. Together with Leland Stanford, Huntington was definitely the most active of the Big Four.
