Summary
The Transcontinental Railroad was an engineering marvel as well as a technological nightmare. In the 1860s, the Union Pacific began laying tracks westward from Omaha, and the Central Pacific did the same heading eastward from Sacramento. Work on the railroad represented the nation's struggle to forge an iron link between East and West, making cross-country travel faster and easier than ever.
