	LearnCalifornia.org - Central Pacific Railroad
		The Union Pacific, chartered by the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, was formally organized in October 1863 to construct west from the Missouri River and across the Great Plains and Rockies until it met the Central Pacific coming the other way.
		The Union Pacific was to receive the same land grants and government bond loans as the Central Pacific, but got off to a much slower start than the CP because of the Civil War raging literally in its backyard.
		Completing the Pacific railroad (it wouldn't be commonly called the "transcontinental railroad" for another year or two) had the same effect on the popular imagination as would man's walking on the moon one hundred years and a couple of months later.

	WWII Campaigns: Central Pacific
		The Central Pacific was equally important to the United States as the path of military advance postulated in the ORANGE plans developed by the Joint Board, composed of planners from the Army General Staff and the General Board of the Navy, during the 1920s and 1930s.
		Of particular concern to the Army was that Nimitz was the commander in chief of the Pacific Ocean Area as well as the commander of the Pacific Fleet and the Central Pacific Area.
		Even as the Japanese were consolidating their gains in the Central Pacific, however, American planners were at work both at Pearl Harbor and in Washington preparing for an offensive that would take advantage of the changes brought by the Battle of Midway.

	Central Pacific Railroad
		The Central Pacific was chartered by Congress, through the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862, to construct a portion of the first transcontinental line, starting in Sacramento and proceeding eastward.
		The Central Pacific was the project of two of the great railroad barons of the day, Leland Stanford and Collis P. Huntington.
