RAILROAD

"The reality of a transcontinental railroad resulted in several
changes

in
Mormon emigration policy. In the late '60's, missionaries often
recommended
to their converts that they remain in their homes until the
completion
of
the railroad, thus avoiding much of the hardship, sickness and death
that
had marked the trail of the covered wagon. By so doing they would
also
be
able to accumulate more money to bring with them to the new
community,
or to
assure the passage of the entire family. And in Utah, men who would
otherwise be called to leave their homes to guide the incoming Saints
to

Zion, could stay at home to carry on their own work. With this in
mind,

the
missionaries were frequently given the responsibility of placing
families in
mid-west or eastern communities where they could find homes and
employment."
