In the 1850s and 1860s, the federal government aided railroad construction primarily through land grants and financial support. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 provided federal land to railroad companies, allowing them to sell portions of the land to fund construction. Additionally, the government offered loans and bonds to incentivize private investment in railroad development, facilitating the expansion of the rail network across the United States. This support was crucial in linking the East and West, promoting commerce and settlement.
