The first two cross-country railroads in the United States were the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O), which began operations in the early 1820s, and the Transcontinental Railroad, which was completed in 1869. The B&O was significant for connecting the East Coast to the Ohio River Valley, while the Transcontinental Railroad linked the eastern U.S. to the West Coast, facilitating westward expansion and commerce.
