No. The English have nowhere to build a transcontinental railroad; they are on an island. The US was the first to begin such a railroad - aptly named the First Trascontinental Railroad - and the Russians soon followed with the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The railroads significantly opened the cattle industry to sales and sales meant ranchers could expand their lands and herds. Ranchers from even Texas could drive herds north to meet the railroad, and both factors helped develop towns in the Great Plains.
The railroad needed builders, and those builders lived in new towns along the railroad. Settlers moved with the railroad because they could get lots of land and still have access to manufactured goods from the East because the railroad allowed for the transportation of those goods.
