Question

How did US train travel change by 1870?

Answer 1

The trans-continental railroad was completed around this time, so not only did train travel change, but was innovated so that a train could take you anywhere across the US.

Answer 2

By 1870, US train travel changed as the Transcontinental Railroad was inaugurated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The First Transcontinental Railroad is a name for the rail link between Omaha and Sacramento. Since May 11, 1869, the 3069 kilometer route has connected the settlement areas on the Missouri River with California.

The First Transcontinental Railroad made it possible for the first time to have an extensive, five-state east-west rail link within the United States and is therefore considered an important milestone in the history of the railroad in North America.
