First Transcontinental Railroad
The First Transcontinental Railroad golden spike was laid in 1869. The railroad was to be revolutionary in its effect and fits into this era 1865-1877. However full coast-to-coast services took place after this era so can be found in US History/Advancements covering 1877-1913. Darrelljon (discuss • contribs) 09:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
