Ну если Вы так хотите:
>Это же вы утверждали, что я писал "малопривлекательная местность" про Великие равнины.
Ну вот Вы писали:
>Разговор шел, что обе дороги связывали густонаселенную часть страны с побережьем на другом конце страны. И обе дороги шли через малопривлекательную для жизни местность. Если вы дадите себе хоть немного труда поинтересоваться тем, как там с населением в этой самой Юте, то легко узнаете, что это и сейчас малонаселенный штат. У которого 80% населения сконцентрировано возле хребта Уосатч.

Дорога начинается в Омахе, идет по Небраске и Вайомингу. Это что, не Великие равнины?
Да и в Юте дорога проходит через Promontory севернее Great Salt Lake, в 106 км от Солт-Лейк-Сити, который возле хребта Уосатч.
Promontory is an area of high ground in Box Elder County, Utah, United States, 32 mi (51 km) west of Brigham City and 66 mi (106 km) northwest of Salt Lake City. Rising to an elevation of 4,902 feet (1,494 m) above sea level, it lies to the north of the Promontory Mountains and the Great Salt Lake. It is notable as the location of Promontory Summit, where the First Transcontinental Railroad from Sacramento to Omaha in the United States was officially completed on May 10, 1869.
The First Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869 at Promontory Summit on the north side of the Great Salt Lake. A railroad was connected to the Salt Lake Сity from the Transcontinental Railroad in 1870, making travel less burdensome.
