The Building of Transcontinental Railroad and Dangers Behind It

Introduction

Who invented the Transcontinental Railroad? Well, from my research I learned that Asa Whitney made the idea of the Railroad and Theodore Judah created the Railroad and Aba Lincoln helped make it all happen. In the Railroad, there were lots of Laws, Dangers, and Celebrations on the Railroad.

The Laws

One law is the President had to sign the form to get permission to build, also if you don’t get permission and you need the money to build the train tracks. They need permission or they could go to jail and they wouldn’t like it and they couldn’t build without money. Another law is one of the presidents had to sign the form to get the money and permission to build on that land. You need to have permission or you could go to jail and you can’t build it without the money, also if you don’t have permission and you need the money to build the train tracks.

The Dangers

On the hills, it was so dangerous so they used big engines for lots of power to get up the hill and for the ability to even get up the hills. And you could get tied to the train tracks to die that would hurt you and the train you would die and the train could maybe go of trackers and that would be bad. Also, you need lots of money so you can buy the materials to build up the hills and it was so dangers to build up the hills and to go down the hills you could slip and fall and it would Hurt. Another reason why is, because it’s fast, you need money to survive and with the money, you save up. Also, the hash cold winter it is cold ice water and very cold. And going through the mountain blasting it away to build more train so they don’t have to go up the mountain. And native Americans caused a big threat to go on their land. Tracks could be deadly to the things around the train tracks and if something gets stuck on the train tracks then the train could get of tracks and run into lots of things nearby and all the money would be wasted that they spent. And also, Maybe you could get tied to the tracks and the train would run you over and it would hurt you and the money spent on the train

Celebrations

Everyone was so excited that they finished so there celebrate all together with cups and bottled drinks. They meet sides in Promptory, Utah on May 10/1869, also you can go see it today at Stanford University in California. in Utah, the president of Union Pacific meets to put the golden spike. It was a wonderful day to put the golden spike in and they took it out to make it more stable and no one could take to make some money. It was about $400 and about 5 ⅝ inches long and weighs about 14.3300. It was where they meet in the middle and where they put the last spike in and it was the only golden one on the train tracks and it was here the president put the last one in.
