The Continental Railways were a huge problem for the buffalo. It was before many of the hunters understood the concepts of conservation.
There were hunts conducted directly from the trains. This meant that the hunters could carry much more ammo and firearms than they could have on foot or on horses. It also gave them a way to carry many hides, the meat, and other buffalo products for almost immediate sale or trade.


There was a lot of money involved with hunting buffalo in this way, and over a 20 year period, tens of millions of buffalo were killed in this fashion.

How did the Civil war affect the building of the trancontinental railroad?

The Civil War significantly impacted the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad by accelerating its need and urgency. During the war, the U.S. government recognized the importance of a unified transportation network for military and economic purposes, which led to increased federal support and funding for the project. Additionally, the conflict diverted resources and labor away from other projects, ultimately streamlining efforts to complete the railroad after the war ended in 1865. The completion of the railroad in 1869 facilitated westward expansion and helped integrate the national economy.
