Answer 1

Answer: The railroads hired buffalo hunters to provide food for their crews.

Explanation: The correct answer is The railroads hired buffalo hunters to provide food for their crews. They did this under the justification that the onslaught of the buffalo herd could overturn the trains. The railway companies under the support of the Government hired buffalo hunters who did this work and whose meat was distributed among their workers.

Answer 2

The main way in which the railroads contributed to the end of the large buffalo herds was that "The railroad tracks were obstacles that the buffalo would not cross". It sounds silly, but the buffalo actually refused to cross the tracks for reasons that are still misunderstood.
