It provided a commercial link between the East and the West.

Explanation:

  • On May 10, 1869, by typing the last nails of gold, silver, and bronze in the desert part of Utah, U.S. Railroad officials marked the end of America's first transcontinental railroad.
  • The railroad, called Union Pacific, which extends from east to west and the Central Pacific, which extends from west to east, is extended by 29,000 miles of rails extending from Omaha, Nebraska, to Sacramento, California.
