Answer #4

  1. Railroads could transport cattle from the west, so farmers did not feel the need to move west. Which affected Western migration.

  2. Railroads played a key role. Trains carried natural resources from the west to eastern markets. Trains also brought miners, farmers, and ranchers to develop the land.

Answer #5

Railroads reduced travel time between the east and west thereby eliminating many hardships for people and animals. They also reduced the cost of transporting freight over great distances.
