Positive: faster and safer transportation from coast to coast, larger amount of goods ship faster, cheaper for travel, and helped unpopulated areas get settled easier
Negative: Buffalo were killed in large numbers, Natives lost their land, and brought a lot of western settlers take over native lands.
