What railroad lines carried passengers from Omaha to san Fran?

The primary railroad line that carried passengers from Omaha to San Francisco was the Union Pacific Railroad, which connected to the Central Pacific Railroad. The Union Pacific, part of the first transcontinental railroad completed in 1869, facilitated travel across the western U.S. Passengers would typically travel on Union Pacific trains to a junction and then transfer to Central Pacific trains to reach San Francisco. Other railroads, such as the Southern Pacific, also provided service to the region, contributing to the overall network.

Did the transcontinental railroad cross the US?

Not really, despite its name. The first "transcontinental railroad" ran only from Omaha, Nebraska on the eastern end to San Francisco, California on its western end. Omaha, on the western bank of the Missouri River, is about 1,200 miles from the East Coast of the United States. However, there was already a network of railroads east of the Missouri River, so that after completion of the transcontinental railroad, someone could travel from the East Coast to San Francisco by railroad with only one interruption: a ferry across the Missouri River.
