    Race to Promontory

    This resource, developed by the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, is a comprehensive guide for telling the story of the first American transcontinental railroad. In addition to bringing to life this important achievement in American history, this kit allows students to examine firsthand historical photographs from the Union Pacific collection. This rare collection provides a glimpse into the world of the 1860s and the construction of the nation’s first transcontinental railroad. Today, nearly everything American families and businesses depend on is still carried on trains – raw materials such as lumber and steel to construct homes and buildings; chemicals to fight fires and improve gas mileage; coal that generates more than half of our country’s electricity needs; produce and grain for America’s food supply; and even finished goods such as automobiles and TVs. After 150 years, UP now serves a global economy and more than 7,300 communities across 23 states.

This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current.
