The transcontinental railroad took about six years to complete. The final spike was driven at Promontory Point, UT on May 10, 1869.
It took 6 years to build the transcontinental railroad which was through the years of 1863 from May 10th to the year 1869. Some say 20 years. Overland route came after.
It took slaves an average of 15 months to escape if they started at the beginning of the Underground Railroad. The escape route was 234 miles long.
In 1867, traveling from Cleveland, OH, to California would typically take several weeks to a few months, depending on the mode of transportation. Most travelers would use a combination of horse-drawn carriages, trains, and possibly steamships, as the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869 but was not fully operational for all routes at that time. Travel times could vary significantly based on weather conditions, terrain, and the specific route taken. Overall, a journey could take anywhere from 30 to 60 days or more.
It started in 1816 & ended in 1856.

Yes,the Native Americans or American Indians attacked the transcontinental Railroad because since they didn't want the white workers to take over their land AGAIN,they wanted to protect their land and started to attack (rip up the railroad tracks and attack the workers)
Before the first transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, traveling across the United States could take several months. Typically, a journey by wagon or horseback could take anywhere from four to six months, depending on the route and conditions. Travelers faced numerous challenges, including rough terrain, weather, and the need to rest and resupply along the way. The railroad dramatically reduced this time to just a week or so.
The Transcontinental Railroad connected the east coast of the United States with the west coast. Previous to the completion of the railroad the only way to cover the distance was on horseback which could take several months.
Because it made travel and transportation of goods much faster. They didn't have cars in 1869 when the first Transcontinental Railroad was built in America, so long trips could easily take months before they built it.
