The continental railroad was built from both ends at the same time to get it finished in half the time. The genius of this also was that the two sides started competing right away to try to beat the other side to the finish point, which got the railroad finished even faster.

What type of robot do you think makes the most significant contribution to our lives today?
Transportation, I believe that vehicles, boats, planes, and trains make the most significant contribution to our lives today. Without these items we probably wouldn't be living where we are today. You may not think these are considered robots, but think of it this way: -Robots are programmed to do things. -Transportation "devices" are programmed to get us places. -Robot pieces are built by machine, and most of the time are put together by people. Anything transportation related is built the same way.
