Once, the only way people could travel across the USA was by riding a horse or in a wagon pulled by horses.

People had to travel across deserts and over mountains. They could be attacked and killed by wild animals, and there were no towns to stop at and get food. It was a long journey that took about six months and it was very unsafe.

Then, about 150 years ago, a railroad track was built to connect the western part of the USA to the eastern part. Two teams worked on the railroad. One started on the west coast, and the other 100 words
started in the east. The two teams raced each other to lay the most railroad track.
