The transcontinental railroad faced numerous challenges, including harsh geographical conditions such as mountains, deserts, and rivers, which complicated construction efforts. Additionally, labor shortages and conflicts with Native American tribes over land rights and safety issues created further obstacles. Financial difficulties and the need for substantial investment also posed significant hurdles, as did the coordination between different railroad companies working on the project. Despite these challenges, the railroad was completed in 1869, revolutionizing transportation and commerce in the United States.
