-> I suppose a more correct term would be "completed the first
-> intercontinental railroad".  As to whether one railroad is
-> transcontinental, I don't know.  UP probably is and BNSF probably is

-> KF>does the u.s. have a single transcontinental (east coast to west

->
-> See above..... maybe someone else can help there.
no one railroad has coast to coast ownership, but BNSF runs the QNYLA
and the QLANY in conjunction with Conrail, this technically falls into
the category of a "transcontinental" train, and I think Amtrak's Sunset
Limited is still running from LA to Jacksonville...I think that may be
wrong...something like that, I know they were talking about trashing it
beyond New Orleans...
