Railroad Lesson
In 1860, the most practical way to travel 1,775 miles from Sacramento, California to Omaha, Nebraska would have been by wagon. There were no train tracks or automobiles yet. The wagon trip would have taken approximately 5 months and been difficult due to sickness, river crossings, dangers like bandits, and traveling through mountains. Building the transcontinental railroad started in 1863 to provide a safer and faster method of travel between the east and west coasts.

What is GPS
GPS uses a network of satellites and receivers to calculate the precise location of a person or object anywhere on Earth. It works by measuring the time it takes signals from at least 3 satellites to reach a GPS receiver, allowing the receiver to triangulate its position using geometry. While satellites carry atomic clocks for precision, most receivers use less accurate clocks, which can impact location calculation accuracy. Obstructions and signal interference may also introduce errors.

The Race Across America: The First Transcontinental Railroad
Introduction:The transcontinental railroad was an innovated technology by conveniently and efficiently letting people travel across the country. Replacing months of travel to mere weeks, it allowed communication and trade across vast amounts of distances. It employed both Chinese immigrants and Irish workers who helped build the railroad. After it was completed, it united the country together and helped build the way for commerce, people and ideas to travel from the east to the west.
Union Pacific Railroad
Part 1: How it was builtThe Union Pacific Railroad would start at Omaha, Nebraska and go west
Central Pacific RailroadThe Central Pacific Railroad would start at Sacramento, California and go east
Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 and 1864It outlined how the railroad was going to be built, the route it was going to take and how it was going to get funded. The path that they would go through followed the established Oregon and California trails, which was used at the time by wagon trains, stagecoach lines and the Pony Express.
Black Powder/Nitroglycerin
Part 2: Technology UsageBlack powder was usually used to blast through the hard rock, but some situations, nitroglycerin had to be used. Nitroglycerin at the time was fairly new as a blasting tool and was very dangerous to transport, so they had to make it on the site.
Telegraph LinesBrought instant communication to people working along the tracks to people across the nationUsed on the day the railroad was completed where telecommunication lines were wrapped around the last spike on the track and whenever the person struck the spike, the sound pulsated across the nation.
Snow sheds
Part 2 ContinuedSnow and avalanches were delaying construction and supervisors had to devise a plan to overcome it. Snow sheds were built by making a shelter over the tracks so the snow would not interfere the construction of the railroad
Bridges/Trestle BridgesTrestle bridges were built when there was a deep gorge that the railroad had to go over and was usually built with timber until it could have been replaced with iron, which is more durable and permeant.
Chinese Immigrants
Part 3: Social ImpactThe Chinese were the backbone of building the tracks for the Central Pacific and compromised nearly 80% of the workforce They worked in eight hour shifts and only stopped when another person had to put in the black powder, where they lit fuse and would then run to a safe distance to avoid the explosion.
Irish Immigrants and Civil War VeteransOn the Union Pacific Railroad, it mostly consisted of Irish immigrants and Civil War Veterans.The Irish workers and veterans constantly got drunk, went to brothels and gambling dens which brought a lot of vices to the towns that the tracks went through.
Mormons
Part 3 ContinuedThe main reason why the Mormons worked on the railroad was because it would go through the Utah territ ...
Business History Session 3
The Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, connecting the Union Pacific Railroad from the east to the Central Pacific Railroad from the west. This unprecedented engineering feat joined the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by rail for the first time. While the railroad was built for national defense and to unite the country, it also made a handful of men immensely wealthy, including Leland Stanford, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker of the Central Pacific, and Thomas Durant of the Union Pacific. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad transformed the United States by enabling rapid population growth in the West, spurring additional rail construction, and symbolizing the vast opportunities available in the newly opened western territories.

PYM Puzzler -- DOUBLEVISION: ASTORIA or Astoria?
Once the overwhelming complex decision is made, to develop regional deep-water port facilities at the PORT OF ASTORIA to handle international cargo in and out of the Willamette Valley and the Columbia River Watershed, the question remains, as to how best to transport the heavy volume of international cargo inland to Portland and Clackamas County -- where Oregon's premier manufacturing centers are located.
Will one MAGLEV line direct to Portland be sufficient, if it follows the existing right-of-way of the PNW? Or will another line due south into Washington County be necessary as well?
These and other questions were under consideration at SYM-Zonia over five years ago!!
Presidential Abraham Lincoln signed a bill on July 1, 1862 to author.pdf
Presidential Abraham Lincoln signed a bill on July 1, 1862 to authorize the construction of the
first transcontinental railroad. On May 10, 1869, several years ahead of the timeline, the Pacific
Railroad was completed at a joyous ceremony in Promontory Summit, Utah. Suppose the train
coming from the East, actually called No. 119, came to a flat part of the country and could travel
at a constant speed of 32 miles per hour for many miles.
A) If the train ran for 3.5 hours before altering its speed, how far did the train travel during that
stretch of the transcontinental strip?
B) Show the formula and steps you utilized to arrive at your answer. Include the appropriate
units in each step of your work.
Velocity is the change in position divided by the change in times. Speed is the absolute value of
velocity. Since the train originated from the train station and is traveling away from the train
station, we will say that this train had a positive velocity.
C) For the train to have a negative velocity, it would have to ______.
D) Draw a graph of the velocity function on the grid. Scale the axes and name the vertical axis
as v(t) mph and the horizontal axis as t hours
E) Explain how the graoh of the velocity function can be used to calculate the toal distance the
train traveled in 3.5 hours.
Solution
The Transcontinental Railroad was the result of the U.S. commitment to Manifest
Destiny and its burgeoning industrial might. Long distances and slow transportation hampered
contact between eastern and western commercial centers. Both the United States government and
entrepreneurs sought faster transportation to link the two sections. For a decade after 1850,
Congress studied possible transcontinental routes, but arguments over sectionalism and slavery
blocked all plans. Not until after the South seceded and the Civil War had begun could Congress
pass an effective transcontinental plan, the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862. It called for two
railroad companies to complete the transcontinental line. The railroad would be a \"land-grant
railroad,\" meaning that the government would give each company 6,400 acres of land and up to
$48,000 for every mile of track it built. The money capitalized the project, and the railroads
could use the land to entice settlers to the West, who in turn would need the railroads to haul
freight. But Congress, afraid to fund a project that would never be completed, wrote a caveat into
the act: the railroads had to complete the project by July 1,1876, or they would forfeit the land,
money, and all of the constructed track. The Union Pacific Railroad, a corporation formed for
the venture, would build the eastern half of the line starting in Nebraska. The Central Pacific
Railroad, owned by a group of California entrepreneurs including Collis Huntington and Leland
Stanford, would build the western half. Preliminary work began, even as the nation still fought
the Civil War. Surveyors and engineers had to scout and map workable routes. Af.

The Railroad
The document summarizes the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the United States in the 19th century. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 called for the construction of the first transcontinental railroad to unite the country during the Civil War. The Central Pacific railroad company built eastward from California, while the Union Pacific built westward from Nebraska, using Irish immigrants, veterans, and thousands of Chinese laborers. The two lines met at Promontory Summit, Utah in 1869, dramatically reducing travel time across the country and ushering in population growth and development in the American West.
Late 19th Century America
The United States became a wealthy country in the late 19th century due to four key factors:
1) Abundant natural resources such as fertile farmland, forests, coal, oil, and minerals.
2) Developments in transportation including extensive river systems, canals, railroads, and the transcontinental railroad which connected the country.
3) Advancements in communication technologies like the telegraph and telephone.
4) Hard work and innovation from inventors such as Edison, Bell, and others which drove technological progress.

Part 3: Social ImpactThe Chinese were the backbone of building the tracks for the Central Pacific and compromised nearly 80% of the workforce They worked in eight hour shifts and only stopped when another person had to put in the black powder, where they lit fuse and would then run to a safe distance to avoid the explosion.
Irish Immigrants and Civil War VeteransOn the Union Pacific Railroad, it mostly consisted of Irish immigrants and Civil War Veterans.The Irish workers and veterans constantly got drunk, went to brothels and gambling dens which brought a lot of vices to the towns that the tracks went through.

Business History Session 3
The Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, connecting the Union Pacific Railroad from the east to the Central Pacific Railroad from the west. This unprecedented engineering feat joined the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by rail for the first time. While the railroad was built for national defense and to unite the country, it also made a handful of men immensely wealthy, including Leland Stanford, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker of the Central Pacific, and Thomas Durant of the Union Pacific. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad transformed the United States by enabling rapid population growth in the West, spurring additional rail construction, and symbolizing the vast opportunities available in the newly opened western territories.

History of the Oregon Short Line in the Wood River Valley, late 1800s, by John Lundin. Presentation given for the opening of "Railroad Ties," an exhibition at the Sun Valley Museum of History.
PYM Puzzler -- DOUBLEVISION: ASTORIA or Astoria?
Once the overwhelming complex decision is made, to develop regional deep-water port facilities at the PORT OF ASTORIA to handle international cargo in and out of the Willamette Valley and the Columbia River Watershed, the question remains, as to how best to transport the heavy volume of international cargo inland to Portland and Clackamas County -- where Oregon's premier manufacturing centers are located.
Will one MAGLEV line direct to Portland be sufficient, if it follows the existing right-of-way of the PNW? Or will another line due south into Washington County be necessary as well?
These and other questions were under consideration at SYM-Zonia over five years ago!!
Presidential Abraham Lincoln signed a bill on July 1, 1862 to author.pdf
Presidential Abraham Lincoln signed a bill on July 1, 1862 to authorize the construction of the
first transcontinental railroad. On May 10, 1869, several years ahead of the timeline, the Pacific
Railroad was completed at a joyous ceremony in Promontory Summit, Utah. Suppose the train
coming from the East, actually called No. 119, came to a flat part of the country and could travel
at a constant speed of 32 miles per hour for many miles.
A) If the train ran for 3.5 hours before altering its speed, how far did the train travel during that
stretch of the transcontinental strip?
B) Show the formula and steps you utilized to arrive at your answer. Include the appropriate
units in each step of your work.
Velocity is the change in position divided by the change in times. Speed is the absolute value of
velocity. Since the train originated from the train station and is traveling away from the train
station, we will say that this train had a positive velocity.
C) For the train to have a negative velocity, it would have to ______.
D) Draw a graph of the velocity function on the grid. Scale the axes and name the vertical axis
as v(t) mph and the horizontal axis as t hours
E) Explain how the graoh of the velocity function can be used to calculate the toal distance the
train traveled in 3.5 hours.
Solution
The Transcontinental Railroad was the result of the U.S. commitment to Manifest
Destiny and its burgeoning industrial might. Long distances and slow transportation hampered
contact between eastern and western commercial centers. Both the United States government and
entrepreneurs sought faster transportation to link the two sections. For a decade after 1850,
Congress studied possible transcontinental routes, but arguments over sectionalism and slavery
blocked all plans. Not until after the South seceded and the Civil War had begun could Congress
pass an effective transcontinental plan, the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862. It called for two
railroad companies to complete the transcontinental line. The railroad would be a \"land-grant
railroad,\" meaning that the government would give each company 6,400 acres of land and up to
$48,000 for every mile of track it built. The money capitalized the project, and the railroads
could use the land to entice settlers to the West, who in turn would need the railroads to haul
freight. But Congress, afraid to fund a project that would never be completed, wrote a caveat into
the act: the railroads had to complete the project by July 1,1876, or they would forfeit the land,
money, and all of the constructed track. The Union Pacific Railroad, a corporation formed for
the venture, would build the eastern half of the line starting in Nebraska. The Central Pacific
Railroad, owned by a group of California entrepreneurs including Collis Huntington and Leland
Stanford, would build the western half. Preliminary work began, even as the nation still fought
the Civil War. Surveyors and engineers had to scout and map workable routes. Af.
Transcon Rr
The document discusses the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the United States in the 1860s. It describes how the Central Pacific Railroad worked to lay track eastward from Sacramento, California, while the Union Pacific Railroad worked to lay track westward from Omaha, Nebraska, with the goal of having the lines meet. Four investors, known as "The Big Four", financed the Central Pacific Railroad - Leland Stanford, Collis Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker. On May 10, 1869, the two lines were joined at Promontory Summit, Utah, uniting the country with a transcontinental railroad.

The Railroad
The document summarizes the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the United States in the 19th century. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 called for the construction of the first transcontinental railroad to unite the country during the Civil War. The Central Pacific railroad company built eastward from California, while the Union Pacific built westward from Nebraska, using Irish immigrants, veterans, and thousands of Chinese laborers. The two lines met at Promontory Summit, Utah in 1869, dramatically reducing travel time across the country and ushering in population growth and development in the American West.
Late 19th Century America
The United States became a wealthy country in the late 19th century due to four key factors:
1) Abundant natural resources such as fertile farmland, forests, coal, oil, and minerals.
2) Developments in transportation including extensive river systems, canals, railroads, and the transcontinental railroad which connected the country.
3) Advancements in communication technologies like the telegraph and telephone.
4) Hard work and innovation from inventors such as Edison, Bell, and others which drove technological progress.

The document summarizes the origins and establishment of Route 66. It discusses three key reasons for Route 66's creation: 1) To connect Chicago, a major transportation hub, to the west coast, specifically Los Angeles which was growing rapidly. 2) To provide a reliable year-round road connecting these two cities for automobiles and trucks. 3) Due to the efforts of Cyrus Avery and others who successfully lobbied for and established Route 66 through the Joint Board of Interstate Highways. It provides historical context on the limitations of prior auto trail systems and the need for a unified national highway system.
The black canyon of the gunnison
The Black Canyon of the Gunnison
National Monument
By Richard G. Beidleman*
Colorado's Black Canyon of the Gunnison certainly ranks
among the foremost chasms of the world in terms of dimensions
and renown. Starting at Sapinero, where the ancient preCambrian
rock complex first becomes evident, the Gunnison
River has cut an ever deepening gorge to westward for a distance
of some fifty miles until, swinging northwest, the river
leaves its walled confines and joins the North Fork of the
Gunnison River in the North Fork Valley near Delta.
The deepest and most spectacular portion of this chasm,
a twelve-mile length, has been included within the boundary
of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument,
which was established by the presidential proclamation of
Herbert Hoover thirty y ears ago on March 2, 1933. Here the
gorge depth ranges from 1,730 to 2,725 feet, while the width
narrows to 1,100 feet at the rim and as little as 40 feet at the
bottom, at the latter site the river completely inundating the
chasm floor. The depth and narrowness of the Black Canyon
is emphasized by the sheer, black-stained, lichen-covered,
variegated pre-Cambrian walls and the periodic gloom that
shrouds the depths.

Development Of Cities
Urbanization first developed in the Fertile Crescent region due to favorable conditions for agriculture and the need for defense. The earliest known urban centers were Jericho around 8000 BC and Catal Huyuk in Turkey around 6250 BC. Urbanization was delayed in China until the Shang Bronze Age potentially because the native crops and animals provided a less nutritious diet compared to the Fertile Crescent, and competition for land was initially less in China so defense was less important.
