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.

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.
