The Railway Queen — Evelyn Ashcroft destroys the railway empire she built for her unfaithful husband Nathaniel Crowe.

Evelyn Ashcroft abandons her birthright to marry impoverished attorney Nathaniel Crowe, spending a decade converting her wealth and social influence into his New York railway and mining dynasty. The partnership collapses when his secretary discloses that Nathaniel fathered a child with Vivian, the woman who previously married Evelyn's father. Humiliated at Nathaniel's book launch, Evelyn initiates divorce proceedings, retreats to her father's railway conglomerate, and enlists ally Charles to systematically dismantle Crowe Railway and Mining. Nathaniel and Vivian lose their fortune, descend into addiction, and end up destitute while Evelyn ascends as a powerful industrial figure.
