About East Meets West Day
Travel & Tourism , United States
Ends: May 10, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
East meets West Day commemorates the anniversary of the opening of the United State’s first transcontinental rail system.
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.
