    much as 90 million dollars towards the construction
    of this railroad had been periodically introduced in
    Congress since the early 1840's
Gold Rush of 1849
   Discovery of gold in California led to a large amount
    of people to move to the West
   By 1850, only 57% of the population livened east of
    the Alleghenies and on he Atlantic Seaboard
   Due to this there was a need for Congress to start
    construction

                                    A southern route would be
  practice in the New West           cost-effective, but had vested
                                     Southern interests

          After the Southern Congressmen
          left Congress, because of the

Pacific Railroad Acts

Each railroad company, after completion
 of an initial 40 mi of track, was to be
 granted 6,400 acres of public lands and a
 loan of from $16,000 to $48,000 for each
 mile of track laid.
In 1864, Congress doubled the land
 grant, considerably eased the terms of
 government loans, and allowed the two
 railroad companies to borrow private
 capital

Irish and
Chinese
Immigrants

  The railroad workers, labored under extremely dangerous
   conditions, and for as little as a dollar per day. Hundreds
   died on the job from avalanches, heat, accidents, and
   Native American attacks.
  They were not glorified for all of their scarifies that they
   made to make this dream a reality
