It connected the U.S. from coast to coast.
Explanation: The Transcontinental Railroad linked the eastern and western United States, greatly speeding travel and shipping, encouraging settlement and commerce, and helping unite the nation. The other choices are incorrect: it did not end the Civil War, it did not lower immigration (it often increased migration), and it did not stop westward expansion (it accelerated it).
