 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."
