Question

Materials used to build the Central Pacific Railroad were shipped

Answer 1

Around South America

Answer 2

Correct answer:

Around South America

The southern states at the time of the project were separating from the United States, which made things complicated with the construction of the Pacific Railroad. This led to the administration of the Central Pacific Railroad that decided to send the materials to South America. The region that owns the necessary materials in the United States resided in the southern states.
