    The correct answer is C) called for two companies to build the line from two different directions.

    The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 called for two companies to build the line from two different directions.

    We ate talking about the Transcontinental Railroad. The Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 designated the Central Pacific Company and the Union Pacific to built the railroads that connected the East part of the country with the Pacific West. The construction lasted seven years and connected Sacramento, California with Omaha Nebraska. The works were done on May 10, 1869, when both railroads connected in Promontory, Utah.
