FINALLY
After 6 years of constant building the railroad was complete. This was just like the first skyscraper compared to the other rails, and the thrill and excitement was huge. There was no railroad in comparison around the world to the new Transcontinental Railroad, but the best part of all is the fact that America did it. No matter what it is humans want to be first, for example first person in space, first on the moon, first nuclear bomb, and the first plane. Pride from this gets America excited and ready for more.
As railroads became more for transporting goods instead of commercial use the words transcontinental railroad became more obsolete, but the railroad itself is still there from Omaha to San-Francisco bay.
