The impact that the expansion of the railroads in the West had on the American Indians who lived there was that they were displaced from their tribal lands.

The construction of the Transcontinental railroad that connected the East coast of the United States to the West Coast brought many benefits for transportation and trade, but it also brought consequences to the Native American tribes that were settled there.
