In 1869, the Union Pacific Railroad and Central Pacific Railroad met at Promontory Point, Utah, where the “golden spike” was laid that connected the eastern and western lines to form the first transcontinental railroad.
More than 150 years later, Union Pacific is still chugging along, albeit quite a bit faster these days.
On July 29, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern “announced an agreement to create America’s first transcontinental railroad.”
“These legendary companies will seamlessly connect over 50,000 route miles across 43 states from the East Coast to the West Coast, linking approximately 100 ports and nearly every corner of North America. This combination will transform the U.S. supply chain, unleash the industrial strength of American manufacturing, and create new sources of economic growth and workforce opportunity that preserves union jobs,” according to the Union Pacific press release.
