Best Answer

it was a group that created the transcontinental railroad. one group was central pacific and the other one is called union pacific they had to go to different places to be able to make the railroad
No one.

By the time they built it, it was old technology (40 to 60 years old),

it was just a kind of sales pitch (to make money).
