The Native Americans were adversely affected by the transcontinental railroad. The railroad created an influx of people that killed off the buffalo and created a food shortage for the Native Americans.
Native Americans did not complete the transcontinental railroad; it was primarily built by immigrant labor, particularly Irish and Chinese workers. However, Native Americans were significantly affected by the railroad's construction, as it altered their lands, disrupted their way of life, and facilitated the westward expansion of settlers. The railroad contributed to further encroachment on Native territories and played a role in the displacement of many Indigenous communities.
On May 10, 1869, the Central Pacific Railroad CO. and the Union Pacific Railroad CO. met at Promontory Point in UTAH.
Occasionally the Native Indians would "harass" the railroad. The livestock would be shot at, stations terrorized, and work crews could be shot at. Twice Indians sabotaged the rails and also a Cheyenne raiding party tried to derail a train, killing g all the crewmen apart from one, who was scalped. Another tribe called Sioux tried and killed two crewmen. However one tribe, the Pawnee Indians, welcomed the train, protected it from the Sioux, and allowed a railroad to run on their land. In return they were given work on the trains.

This discrimination was fueled by systemic racism and prejudice against Mexican Americans.

The American people who lived in cities could easily relocate to the west. This made the 1862 Homestead Act possible. People who lived in crowed urban slums could now travel west by railroad and get farm land. They no longer had to depend on a few wagon trains to travel west. Thus the population of western states grew tremendously.
