The First Transcontinental Railroad pretty much ended the Oregon Trail days. When the transcontinental line opened in 1869, it made travel westward cheaper and faster. Rather than spending $600 or more for a wagon and supplies and then traveling for 2 or more months along a dangerous road, people could now hop a train, pay around $69 and be west in 7 days.
