Union Pacific Railroad built the line westward and the Central Pacific Railroad built the line eastward. The first transcontinental railroad basically connected the east and the west of the United States.

Central Pacific Railroad merged with Southern Pacific in 1885 and then Union Pacific bought Southern Pacific in 1996. Union Pacific still operates much of the rail from Central Pacific Railroad and Southern Pacific Railroad.

What two companies accepted the governments challenge to build transcontinental railroad line?

The two companies that accepted the government's challenge to build the transcontinental railroad line were the Central Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad. The Central Pacific started in California and worked eastward, while the Union Pacific began in Nebraska and moved westward. Their efforts culminated in the completion of the railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah, in 1869, which significantly enhanced transportation and commerce across the United States.
