The Transcontinental Railroad

In this very special episode of Yesterday in Travel, we discuss the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The railroad connected the East Coast and the West Coast in the United States, completely transforming travel.

We were also thrilled to talk to Dr. Sean Fraga, a transcontinental railroad expert, about how this revolutionary moment changed the United States.
