サマリー
The Transcontinental Railroad was an ambitious railway project completed in the United States in 1869. Initiated in 1863, it aimed to connect the Eastern and Pacific coasts of the country, offering a direct, efficient route for the transportation of goods and people. The Union Pacific Railroad began construction in Omaha, Nebraska, moving westwards, while the Central Pacific Railroad started in Sacramento, California, advancing eastward. Immigrant labor--largely Chinese and Irish workers--played a significant role in the construction. The two railroads met at Promontory Summit, Utah, where they officially became one unified track. The Transcontinental Railroad had a profound effect on the nation's economy and expansion, promoting the westward migration and development of "the West," and significantly reducing travel time across the country.
