White Americans justified the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad with the concept of Manifest Destiny. They believed that the United States was meant to control as much land as possible. To accomplish this, the country must first stretch "from sea to shining sea." A railroad that spanned the entire nation would help to achieve this goal. However, to get the land for a railroad, Native American rights to territory had to be taken away as quickly as possibly to make way for construction.
Leland Stanford and Thomas Durant, key figures in the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, received significant land grants as part of the project. The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 provided them with approximately 12,800 acres of land for every mile of track laid. In total, the Central Pacific Railroad, which Stanford was associated with, received around 8 million acres, while the Union Pacific Railroad, linked to Durant, received about 20 million acres in land grants. This land was intended to promote settlement and development along the route of the railroad.
they made about 35 dollars a month so about two to four dollars a day.
There are a few reasons why the transcontinental railroad was built. One reason was to transport goods and people across the country more efficiently. Before the transcontinental railroad was built, people and goods had to be transported by wagon, which was a slow and difficult process. The transcontinental railroad made it possible to transport goods and people much more quickly and easily. Another reason why the transcontinental railroad was built was to improve communication between the east and west coasts of the United States. Before the transcontinental railroad was built, communication between the east and west coasts was slow and difficult. The transcontinental railroad made it possible for people to communicate more quickly and easily. The transcontinental railroad was also built to help the United States government keep the peace between the Native Americans and the settlers. The transcontinental railroad made it possible for the government to send troops and supplies quickly and easily to the west coast, which helped to keep the peace.
The creation of the transcontinental railroad was a result of the Federal governments goal of connecting the US west and east coasts in an improved way of transport than existed before 1869. The railroad was the cause of more settlers heading west to start a new business, farm, or mining. The railroad also enabled the US army to be transported to western locations to protect the new settlers there. There were constant breaks of promises that were made to Native American Tribes in the West. This resulted in conflicts and US troops were used to keep Native Americans in reservations and cause much damage to them.
The ticket price for the Transcontinental Railroad depends on the route. The longer the distance between start and terminal the more the ticket will cost.
about 50 cents for the cheapest.
idk but the transcontinental railroad cost about 50 million dollars ~nyan caaat
200,000. Ah, faithful google.
For an adult to get a sleeping car on the first transcontinental railroad would cost $65.00.
A lumber cruiser, as far as I know is someone who walks into a forest, examines the trees, and gives an estimate of how much the timber is worth if the trees are cut down.

The term Transcontinental Railroad is used for several rail roads on four continents. Africa, America, Australia and Eurasia. But I doubt that the full costs of all of them is available. See link below for more information on all of them.

The first transcontinental railroad, completed in 1869, cost approximately $48 million at the time, which is equivalent to about $1.5 billion today when adjusted for inflation. The project was financed through a combination of government bonds, land grants, and private investment. It connected the eastern and western United States, significantly impacting commerce and travel.
It would be possible to make paper from oak trees. However, oak is a hardwood and is much more valuable as lumber than the sorts of trees usually used to make paper.
