C It provided a route that avoided the Rocky Mountains
By acquiring the Gadsden Purchase, the United States gained a more desirable route for the construction of the railroad system, as it allowed for a route that avoided the difficult terrain of the Rocky Mountains. This made the expansion of the railroad system more feasible and efficient.
