Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Transcontinental Railroad, originally called the Pacific Railroad, was a railroad built in the United States between 1863 and 1869 that connected the western part of America with its eastern part. Built by the Central Pacific Railroad of California and the Union Pacific Railroad, it connected the Eastern terminus of Council Bluffs, Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska with the railroad lines of the Pacific Ocean at Oakland, California. In time, it would link in with the existing railway network present on the Eastern Coast of America, thus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coast of the United States for the first time by rail. Because of this, the line received a second nickname, “the Overland Route.” The railroad was a government operation, authorized by Congress during the height of the Civil War. Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Acts in 1862 and again in 1864. To pay for it, the US government issued 30 year bonds, as well as granting government land to contractors. The construction of the line was a major achievement by both the Union Pacific (constructing westward from Iowa) and the Central Pacific (constructing eastward from California). The line was officially opened on May 10, 1869, with the Last Spike driven through the railway at Promontory Summit, Utah. James K. Wheaton looks at the history in this eBook.

Book excerpt: "Early in 1872, citizens of Seattle, the leading port on Puget Sound, had high hopes that the Northern Pacific Railroad would make the city its western terminus. In July of 1872, the Northern Pacific chose a virtually undeveloped site on Commencement Bay called Tacoma. In Seattle, panic gave way to resolution as the citizens rolled up their sleeves and spent May Day 1874 building their railroad. Exhausted city leaders took two years to enlist San Francisco capital to build the narrow gauge line that would bring coal to the city, to steamships and to San Francisco. That coal trade helped build the Pacific Northwest's greatest city. The Pacific Coast was independently owned and operated until 1951, when the Great Northern bought it and operated it until the BN merger of 1970. Over 160 photographs, maps, extensive archival documentation, and employee interviews make this the definitive account of one of the West Coast's most significant railroads."--Amazon.com.
