The Transatlantic Railroad

Who, What, Where?

-Union Pacific and Central Pacific were the two railroads that raced to build a railroad across the continent.

-The railroad would cross the country and connect with already existing railroads. It was not to complicated since most of the railroads were owned by a few companies.

-Central Pacific began building east out of Sacremento and by the end of the year Union started building west out of Omaha, Nebraska.
