"The Civil War has begun. The southern Senators are no longer in the U.S. Congress. The northern Senators vote for a northern route. They decide to start the railroad at Omaha, Nebraska and end in Sacramento, California."
By 1900, construction of multiple transcontinental railroad routes was completed.
