The transcontinental railroad was an extremely important piece of America when it was first built. For the first time people and goods could be moved at a quicker pace then what carriages and wagon trains allowed for. President Grant did not attend the ceremony. Rather the golden spike was driven into the ground by the Governors of New York and California.
