The Continental Railways were a huge problem for the buffalo. It was before many of the hunters understood the concepts of conservation.
There were hunts conducted directly from the trains. This meant that the hunters could carry much more ammo and firearms than they could have on foot or on horses. It also gave them a way to carry many hides, the meat, and other buffalo products for almost immediate sale or trade.
There was a lot of money involved with hunting buffalo in this way, and over a 20 year period, tens of millions of buffalo were killed in this fashion.
