Trying to find the title of a series that is about a landowner trying to build a railroad through his property. They have to build a bridge for the railroad to continue. There is a woman who has to leave the city because her dead husband ran up debt. She starts a boarding house. One of her boarders turns out to be the older brother of the landowner who everyone thought died in Africa. There is also a sub-plot where her son kills a bad man who he saw blow up something and chases him. I remember the story, but no names of characters, actors or titles.
