Which of the following railroads was not one of the first four major railroads built in the Indian Territory?

Answer
A
the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad
B
the Atlantic and Pacific Railway
C
the Central Pacific Railroad
D
the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad

Explanation

The Central Pacific Railroad was built primarily in California and across the western United States, not through Indian Territory. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas, Atlantic and Pacific, and Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific railroads were among the major lines built in Indian Territory. Therefore, the railroad that was not one of the first four is the Central Pacific Railroad.
