What nickname was given to the trains along the Transcontinental Railroad?
- Iron Horses:By 1869, Americans living in the Eastern states had grown accustomed to traveling by train. In May of that year, their destination choices expanded all the way across the continent. They could now board a train in an eastern city and ride the "Iron Horse" all the way to California in one uninterrupted journey. The entire journey, including the transfers between trains at Chicago, Omaha, Promontory, or Ogden, took between eight to ten days. The lay-over that required the passengers to physically move to another train, usually lasted about 75 minutes, giving them time for a brief bit of site seeing. After that, whether they made their connection or not, the train's engine, nicknamed an "Iron Horse," fired up and left the station. Source: AmericanHeritage.com
