How did the transcontinental railroad change the lives of people?

If you wanted to travel west with your family you needed to pack a conestoga wagon with at least 6 months of supplies. The wagon was pulled by oxen (preferably with one yoke of cows to also provide milk) and your entire family walked beside the wagon for about 6 months.
If you wanted to travel west by yourself you either traveled by stagecoach or by horse for a little over a month.
With the transcontinental railroad the same trip took about a week and was much more comfortable and less hazardous.
