Of course building a transcontinental railroad was no easy task.  Workers had to dig 19 tunnels, chiseling away at one foot a day, until explosives quickened the rate to 2 feet. After  6 years of construction and  1776 miles of track, a golden spike was pounded in to link east coast to west in 1869.
