What did the pacific railroad act of 1862 accomplish? it created railway lines that connected the north to the south. it stimulated the building of a transcontinental railroad. it develop the west by providing land grants to settle there. it made the transport of goods possible during the civil war.

The correct answer is: it stimulated the building of a transcontinental railroad.

The Pacific Railroad Act facilitated the creation of The First Transcontinental Railroad, a railway line that connected the East of the USA to the West. The agreement help to finish the dispute between the southern and the northern states on how to build the railroad. The southern states did not see any benefits in building a railroad that connected California with the major cities in the north of the country, therefore, an agreement was only possible once they left the USA to build their own confederacy.

The Act allocated the construction of the railroad to two companies: The Central Pacific and The Union Pacific. The Central Pacific Railroad would start in Sacramento and build east and the Union Pacific Railroad would start at Omaha and build west. The two companies would then meet in the middle to build the Transcontinental Railroad.

The government would lent each company money to build the tracks and grant them some land rights to build the railroad there.
