DESCRIPTION:

Train Day began in 2008 to honor the anniversary of the creation of Amtrak on May 1, 1971, and encourage Americans to discover their country and travel by train.

The First Transcontinental Railroad was built between 1863 and 1869 by three private companies over public lands that connected the eastern U.S. rail network with the Pacific coast.

The railroad opened for traffic on May 10, 1869. The coast-to-coast railroad connection revolutionized the settlement and economy of America. It aligned the western states and territories with the northern Union states and made transporting passengers and goods coast-to-coast considerably quicker and less expensive.
