Railroad Builders received loans and grants from the federal government.
The Pacific Railway Acts granted railroad companies large land grants and federal loans to encourage the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. This helped the companies financially and allowed them to acquire vast territories for future development. The Acts also provided the government the authority to oversee and regulate the construction of the railroad.
The Transcontinental Railroad began in Council Bluff, Iowa and traveled westward, ending in San Francisco. It was a revolutionary achievement and united the west with the rest of the country. Goods and transportation could be transported faster and could be obtained at a lower price.
