Construction of the Transcontinental Railroad not only affected the United States itself but also anything that inhabited the lands that it was constructed on.

When it came to building the railroad two companies were assigned the task, pinning them up against each other to lay the most track for more money. The Central Pacific company which started in California had to go through mountains while the Union Pacific which started in Nebraska only had to go through the Great Plains.

With the development of the Pacific Railway Act this had brought about many new jobs. With the demand to keep the railroads going they needed to hire many people to look over dozens of sites. Trains also began transporting people. This led to the building of elevated rail lines which was a train above the road to leave room for other traffic. Following these were the building of new bridges, which lifted the limit of urban growth. These rail lines also were able to cover much more land faster and easier than any person could do on foot. The fact that people were able to travel faster and easier allowed the economy to grow by allowing them to go further to work and to buy other products. Now that railroads were booming economically, they began to sell stocks and bonds, which brought investors nationwide and internationally. “Sales of railroad stocks provided the major activity for the New York Stock Exchange through the second half of the nineteenth century”

Second, the development of new public transit systems, was important in shaping the design of our cities and the growth of our cities by enabling people to move further away from the inner city. Early on, large cities had very little and inadequate transportation. Their main source of transportation were horse drawn wagons and walking. As a result, most people lived or took housing near downtown, which was where most of the working establishments were located. This made the big cities very congested. However with the breakthrough of the “el”, electric streetcars, and subways, around 1867, cities began to open up more. Those who were fortunate enough to move out of the slums and into better surrounding neighborhoods, did so. The more affluent of the white-collar classes moved into the suburban areas. In contrast, many of the very wealthy continued to live in city mansions. The new transit systems in most cities allowed people to escape the chaos of urban life and provided potential for growth of our cities.

It is said that if the Borough were an independent city it would be the third most populous city in the U.S. (191).
