Answer:

The Transcontinental Railroad played an important role in American history. Visit Golden Spike National Momentous Park to get a realistic feel of the successes and sacrifices that led to such a historic event, from transforming the way people travelled and explored to having a very real and catastrophic impact on the terrain and the Native Americans who had called the place home.
