Theodore Roosevelt did not enact the Pacific Railway Act; it was originally passed in 1862 during Abraham Lincoln's presidency. However, Roosevelt did play a significant role in promoting and regulating the railroads during his presidency (1901-1909), focusing on conservation and addressing monopolistic practices in the industry. His administration aimed to ensure fair rates and better service for consumers, reflecting his broader progressive agenda.
