The Union and the Pacific railroads joined together to make the Transcontinental Railroad.
The Transcontinental Railroad began in San Francisco, California and ended in Council Bluff, Iowa. Three private railroad companies joined forces to make it happen. They were the Western Pacific Railroad, the Central Pacific Railroad of California and the Union Pacific Railroad Company.

The Golden Spike was the ceremonial last spike used to join the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific railroads to make the First Transcontinental Railroad across the United States. On May 10,1869 the spike was driven by Leland Stanford.
A railroad would make it possible to travel the distance to the Pacific much faster and much more easily.
okay blood sweat tears..another day another dollar every 2400 i think money is tha power go get go get i out er chasing green ....................tht;s the answer
WHAT did they do? They built the transcontinental railroad from the eastern half of the country to California. WHY did they do it? For land grants and for profits. Railroads are in the business of carrying things from one place to another. So farmers could ship their fruits, vegetables and cattle to distant markets and make money, while industries in the cities could ship their machines and tools, and the railroads made money carrying the stuff each way.
