The railroad route followed the Oregon, Mormon and California Trails. The new line was added and connected Omaha and Nebraska; followed the Platte River; crossed the Rocky Mountains at South Pass in Wyoming; and through northern Utah and Nevada before crossing the Sierras to Sacramento, California. Additional route connected Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah and other cities not directly on the route. The Central Pacific laid 690 miles (1,110 km) of track, starting in Sacramento, and the Union Pacific laid 1,087 miles (1,749 km) of track, starting in Omaha. The two lines connected at Promontory Summit, Utah. (Impact) This route was chosen over the route in the southern part of the country because it was less mountainous.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

There have been three (3) prominent countries to embark on a Five Year Plan in the 20th century. As I am unsure as to which you refer to, I will give the dates for all three.

Soviet Union

Under Stalin, the U.S.S.R wanted to catch up to the West in terms of production and so embarked on several Five Year Plans. The Second one began in the year <u>1933 and went till 1937.</u>

China

The Chinese copied the Soviet Union in making Five Year plans but never stopped. There has been a Five Year plan since 1953 with the nation being on its fourteenth plan now. The second plan however, lasted from<u> 1958 to 1962. </u>

India

India also emulated this strategy and came up with several Five Year plans with the second running from April <u>1956 to March 1961. </u>
