Vintage Transportation: The Trans Continental Railway
One of the greatest engineering marvels of the 19th century, the Trans Continental Railway, was completed in 1869 giving passengers and cargo a fast and reliable mode of transportation from the east coast out west. This new mode of transportation helped spur westward expansion and industry. This model was quite challenging to build. It took a lot of trial and error to get the shape of the US correct and it was also difficult to figure out how to use the limited green plates that I have to fill in the map.
