What land was purchased to build a transcontinental railroad?
No land was purchased, but the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was passed for the purpose of building the transcontinental railroad. Specifically, it defined the borders for the territory of Nebraska to be broken up into two, Kansas and Nebraska. Kansas would become a state and the railroad would be built through it. The conflict between then-slaveholding South and free-soil North would cause the conflict known as Bloody Kansas, in which a state of near civil war and anarchy ensued. Bloody Kansas occurred because both regions (South, North) wanted a state in their control to send Senators to Congress and lean the balance of power in their favor (at the time, there were an even number of Senators from both regions).

What were the parts of the Kansas Nebraska act?
In 1854, Senator Stephen Douglas wanted an intercontinental railroad connecting Chicago to the western territories. The railroad would be north of the 36º30' line designated as the territories to be free of slavery according to the Missouri Compromise of 1850 and thus make Nebraska a free state. The Southern states objected to this for they felt that states rights should hold true and it should be up to the population of Nebraska to decide. Douglas relented as the Kansas-Nebraska Act came into being. It stated the peoples of Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah territories would decided to become a free state or a slavery state, thus nullifying the Missouri Compromise.
