Since Texas had many railroad lines built in Texas before 1870, cattle ranches in West Texas could easily ship their cattle from Texas to out of state markets.
Cattle ranchers had cattle drives to states like Kansas since the railroad lines were already built there.
Railroad companies did not help ranchers since they never built their railroad lines in TX. Cattle ranchers used West Texas land for raising Texas longhorns and bison.
Railroad companies preferred to help farmers more than cattle ranchers. So cattle ranchers did not get any help from the railroad companies.
