The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad primarily contributed to the settlement of lands to the west of the earliest American states by providing people with access to essential goods and transportation. The railroad linked the eastern U.S. to the western territories, making it easier for settlers to travel west, transport goods, and access resources. This facilitated trade, encouraged more settlers to move to these areas, and supported the development of towns and communities along the railroad routes.
