- Theodore Judah, a railroad engineer, went to congress, persuading them to finance a transcontinental railroad. Congress finally agreed to loan money and free land to each company based on the amount of track they laid.

- The transcontinental Railroad extends from Sacramento to Omaha, on the border of Nebraska and Iowa. Two companies began building in 1863; the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific. The Union Pacific, led by Thomas Durant began building in Omaha, Nebraska and moved west while the Central Pacific, led by Charles Crocker began building in Sacramento and moved east.

- Congress gave us the right to use this land..."this free land"
- The railroad went from Northern California to the border of Iowa!

- Chinese laborers, part of the Central Pacific company experienced avalanches and several winter blizzards which swept away whole crews. During their initial years of construction, they had also blasted 15 tunnels through granite mountains in the Sierras.

- Camp Victory was the name of their rest stop. At 1:30 a whistle sounded for a lunch break. At 2:30 they began work again and by 7pm the sun began to set and the workers had officially reached their goal of ten miles of track.
- Over years of building, Chinese workers were attacked by Union Pacific workers because they were denoted as "stealing their jobs." Other immigrants like the Irish, Dutch, Polish, German, and African Americans who worked for the Union Pacific were attacked by Native Americans on the lands West of Omaha because they felt threatened by the ironhorse.
- A Golden Spike was used on the very last rail and had 4 inscriptions on it. It also had a golden nugget on it to be made into souvenirs!
- Promontory Summit, May 10, 1869, Thomas Durant striked the Golden spike however he missed it and a worker hit it instead and everyone cheered and celebrated Thomas Judah's dream of a transcontinental Railroad. A total of 3,520 rails were laid
