High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Transcontinental Railroad is a railroad that crosses a continent from "coast-to-coast" between terminals that are at or connected to different oceans. Because Europe is criss-crossed by railways, railroads within Europe are usually not considered transcontinental, the Orient Express perhaps being an exception. The world's first railway to directly connect two oceans was the Panama Rail Road. Completed in 1855, this "inter-oceanic" (as opposed to "transcontinental") line was built across Central America at almost its narrowest point located in what is now modern-day Panama when that area was still the northern province of Colombia from which it would split off to become an independent nation in 1903. By spanning this isthmus, the line's 48 mile (77.25 km) long grade became the first railroad to completely cross any part of the Americas and physically connect ports on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Given the tropical rain forest environment, the terrain, and diseases such as malaria and cholera, its completion was a considerable engineering challenge.
