Pacific Railroad act enabled the congress to authorize government grants and subsidies and also gave lands to build the Transcontinental Railroad.  

From the east at Nebraska, the Union Pacific Railway initiated the construction in order to unite with the Central Pacific Railroad which was to begin the construction at the same time from west Sacramento, California.  

The two lines primarily connected at central Point in Utah which ultimately provided a clear and fastest rail route from Mississippi to Pacific Ocean. The two construction companies merged into Union Pacific railroad.

Answer:

A law of the United States Congress entitled "Pacific Railroad Act

Explanation:

A law of the United States Congress entitled "Pacific Railroad Act" where it was authorized to provide assistance for the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Missouri River (in the center of the country) to the Pacific Ocean coast, assuring the Government of use of it for postal, military and other purposes. The law was passed by President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War and its objective was primarily military.

This law authorized extensive land concessions in the western United States and the issuance of 30-year government bonds (at 6% annual interest) for the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad ( Central Pacific Railroad) in order to both constitute the first transcontinental railroad in the United States.

This was the great impulse to launch the railways throughout the country and ensure that the future is transported cargo in a more economical and efficient way
