The Transcontinental Railroad Acts, also known as the Pacific Railroad acts, were acts passed in the early 1860s to encourage the construction of the transcontinental railroad. Construction was incentivized by giving land and bonds to the railroad companies.
The survey of a proposed railroad route from Memphis to the Pacific Ocean was directed by General Grenville M. Dodge in the 1850s. This survey was part of the efforts to explore and establish a transcontinental railroad, which would later be realized with the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. Dodge's work was instrumental in mapping the most feasible routes across the American West.
