what is a fault
The government subsidized (giving money) the building of tracks and then the companies used that money to build more tracks.
They gave them lots of land to build the tracks on. Another answer: railroads were given checker-board parcels of land on which to build their road beds, and afterward the railroads could sell the land for profit to settlers.
Railroads made it able for business owners to transfer between towns. This allowed businesses to get more customers and generate more money.
this is because the transcontinental railroad would connect the east and west. This would encourage people to settle west and develop the land there. The government lent the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific railroad companies millions of dollars to build the transcontinental railroad.Hope this helpedthey could also make profits of the railroad
The Union Pacific railroad faced issues of spending far more money than what was produced in actual railroad tracks. Finding adequate supplies within the regions where tracks were to be laid caused significant problems in completing the project.ÊThe Union Pacific railroad is a major transportation system for the United States.Ê

Selling government land grants
To use railroad pieces in monopoly you have to have either landed on something that says that you have to build a railroad or when you click the build button you have to build a railroad. Railroads are free. You put them on any owned property. If you land on a property with a railroad on it then you can jump to another property with a railroad on it. This helps you avoid having to pay rent and it also counts for your GO money if you pass GO while you are jumping from railroad to railroad. You can jump from railroad A to railroad B to railroad C. What I said in my last sentence is that you can jump multiple times in one turn. My advice for you is to build a hotel on one of your properties and then also have a railroad on it, so people can jump to your property to get away from properties like Diamond Hills. You can only put railroads on properties that are owned and you can not put railroads on properties that you cannot buy. I hope this answered your question!
Jim Fisk ^That answer is wrong! One business man known for the money he made as a railroad tycoon is Cornelius Vanderbilt. He is known for making a fortune by consolidating railroad companies to get rid of competition and have greater control of price.

The Great Northern railroads enabled the railroads to earn money by hauling goods both east and west, instead of lumbar like other railroads
The government gave the railroads massive concessions. In many areas, they gave the companies land grants of one-half of all land within 10 miles of new tracks. They gave the railroads business with mail and freight. They gave the railroads rights to do business in select areas. In addition, towns often gave the railroads free land for stations and switchyards.
