The First Transcontinental Railroad (known originally as the "Pacific Railroad" and later as the "Overland Route") was a 1,912-mile continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Omaha, Nebraska/Council Bluffs, Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay. The rail line was built by three private companies: The Western Pacific Railroad Company, The Central Pacific Railroad Company of California, and The Union Pacific. The coast-to-coast railroad connection revolutionized the settlement and economy of the American West.
