Railroads
Railroads drew people to the west since new towns were built everywhere. There were towns popping up all over the west nd the railroads also brought in new jobs.
The railroads took people west and as a result more people went west in less time than they ever did in the past. The cattlemen found the west open for raising beef for the eastern market and became cattle barons. Stores opened serving east and west coasts. Sears is a perfect example of this happening. It was located in Chicago and was a catalog that carried everything from dolls to a kit house. The person in the west could order as well as someone in the east. The railroads made this possible.
They helped people in the business industry reach more clients. They also helped supplies be transferred from place to place

The whole thing was with Jerry fold a law overtaking. i have no idea what that ^ all means but i do know that the railroads allowed for families to move farther from each other and led to a growth of population in rural areas.
It was because they needed railroads so they could of transport stuff that they needed from the west.
The government continued to pass laws to encourage people to settle the West, while the railroads made transportation from the east to the west faster and more convenient.
