Today we are continuing our look at the building of the transcontinental railroad as well as the effect it had on America. We completed a chart that showed how 4 different areas were effected by the Transcontinental RR.
We then looked at some video clips of the problems that occured on the railroad including tunneling, explosives, avalanches and racism toward immigrant workers.
