Excerpt from Asa Whitney: Father of Pacific Railroads
The climax of Whitney's agitation was reached in the year 1849, when he published a book giving the facts and arguments in favor of a transcontinental railroad, which he had carefully gathered together during many years of laborious effort. It was entitled Project for a Railroad to the Pacific. In that year committees of both houses of Congress again made reports favorable to his enterprise, but they were not approved by Congress itself.
