One significant effect of the growth of railroads in the U.S. was the acceleration of westward expansion. Railroads facilitated the movement of people, goods, and resources across vast distances, making it easier for settlers to travel to and establish communities in the West. This expansion contributed to economic growth, increased trade, and the development of new markets, while also impacting the indigenous populations and reshaping the American landscape.

What are the roles of the US railroads?
In short the role of US railroads is to move goods, particularly bulk goods (i.e., coal, grain, chemicals, etc.) as efficiently and quickly as possible. In this day and age it has become particularly important for two reason: first, pollution levels need to be reduced and nothing is more efficient at moving goods and people per-fuel-mile than railroads; and second, railroads are an excellent alternative to highways which are becoming extremely overcrowded (their growth and traffic density in the past few years has actually been unprecedented since the days of WWII).
