Detailed explanation-1: -The construction of railway infrastructure projects has a significant anthropogenic impact since it requires intensive use of energy and material resources, whose main negative effects on the environment include global warming, acidification, eutrophication, etc.
Detailed explanation-2: -Railroads became a major industry, stimulating other heavy industries such as iron and steel production. These advances in travel and transport helped drive settlement in the western regions of North America and were integral to the nation’s industrialization.
Detailed explanation-3: -The massive amount of wood needed to build the railroad, including railroad ties, support beams for tunnels and bridges, and sheds, necessitated cutting down thousands of trees, which devastated western forests. Towns and cities that sprung up along the railroad further encroached upon what had been wild areas.
Detailed explanation-4: -There was abuse of labor and destruction of the labor movement. The transcontinentals harmed Native Americans, and hastened the destruction of the buffalo. They opened lands to farming before the production was needed leading to oversupply and economic collapse. They brought in open range cattle a poorly run industry.
