The Transcontinental Railroad was like a really long train track that connected the East and West parts of the United States. Before it was built, it took a long time to move things and people across the country. But when the railroad was ready, trains could carry goods, like food and clothes, super fast!

Because of the railroad, towns grew bigger, and people could buy things from far away. This helped businesses make more money and created new jobs. It was easier for farmers to send their crops to cities, and for factories to get the materials they needed. So, the railroad helped trade a lot and made the economy, which is how money moves around, grow stronger! Everyone was happier because they could get what they needed much quicker.
