Was the Transcontinental the first Transcontinental Railroad?
No. The transcontinental line was completed in 1869, which was four decades plus after the first railroads began operating in the US. Before this railroad was made there were already many other railroads in the eastern United States, but there were so many travelers to the west that the government wanted to make it easier for people to move out west with the Transcontinental Railroad.
