Transcontinental railways can lead to significant environmental degradation, including habitat destruction and increased pollution from construction and operation. They often disrupt local communities and indigenous lands, leading to social and cultural conflicts. Additionally, the economic benefits may be unevenly distributed, favoring certain regions or industries while neglecting others. Lastly, the high initial investment and maintenance costs can strain public resources and budgets.
