Roads were being built all over the country during the Gold Rush. Railroads were being built in the East. The earliest railroad in California was the Sacramento Valley Railroad; construction began in 1852, and service started in 1856. The first transcontinental railroad to California was begun in 1863 and opened in 1869, after the Gold Rush was over.
