Before the expansion of the US railroads, the best way for a traveler to move west of the Mississippi, was to become part of a wagon train heading west. They could also pay to be a passenger on a wagon train. The other way was the long ship route around the southern tip of South America. It would take months to reach California by doing that. Later as railroads continued to expand westward, train travel was often used.
