Best Answer

Utah's State Quarter design honors the 1869 completion of the Transcontinental Railroad at Promontory Point. The Transcontinental Railroad was a huge engineering project that made it possible to travel from one side of the continent to the other by rail rather than using horses and wagons or sailing around Cape Horn.
