In the mid to late 1800s, the us government granted land to railroad companies to expand their networks. what is another way that railroad companies used the land?

The government of the United States contributed enormously to the development of railroads between 1860 and 1900. Because of the expenses involved in building a railroad, money needed to be collected in some way. Private banks were usually reluctant to loan money to these companies. Therefore, the solution was for the government to provide land grants to railroad companies.
