Lewis and Clark crossed the Rocky Mountains during their expedition in the early 1800s. They also navigated other mountain ranges, such as the Bitterroot and the Blue Mountains, as they journeyed to the Pacific Ocean.

It was about changing the time it takes to cross North America from months to days.

The first two cross-country railroads in the United States were the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O), which began operations in the early 1820s, and the Transcontinental Railroad, which was completed in 1869. The B&O was significant for connecting the East Coast to the Ohio River Valley, while the Transcontinental Railroad linked the eastern U.S. to the West Coast, facilitating westward expansion and commerce.
Mountain ranges are natural barriers because they are high. That makes it difficult or impossible for various forms of life to cross from one side of a mountain range to the other.
Many Irishmen came to the United States to take jobs building the transcontinental railroad. The roadbed was dug by hand, the cross ties were laid by hand, the tracks were laid by hand, and the spikes holding the rails to the cross ties were hammered in by hand. Irishmen, or tarriers, were an important part of those crews, especially the dynamite crews.
They would have to cross the Himalayas, Karakorum, and Kunlun mountain ranges.
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.
