Where did the transcontinental railroad link?
the first "trans-continental" US railroad was created by the Union Pacific and Central Pacific, but it wasnt truly a transcontinental as it did not reach the east coast as one railroad company, it just crossed the Continental Divide... basically the Rocky Mountains. The US has never had a truly transcontinental rr company, (I believe the Milwaukee Road (Chicago, Milwaukee, St Paul and Pacific) came closest; at one time reached from Oregon to as far east as Westport, IN). In Canada, however, the Canadian National (also spelled Canadien National) reaches coast to coast.
