Answer: it provided 6,400 acres of land for each mile of track laid.
The Pacific Railroad Act was a law which primary objective was to create a transcontinental railroad. To accomplish this, railroads companies were given <em>government bonds</em> as well as <em>grants of land</em> to work with.
Sections 2 and 3 of the Act, established the acquisition of rights of way, to the Company that laid the tracks.
The first one, conceded <em>both the rail itself and 200 ft of public land away from it, for each side.</em> The second one, <em>added 10 square miles to the prior,</em> whenever the rails were not crossing rivers or went through cities.
This was specified in the Act with the <u>following phrase:</u> <em>"five alternate sections per mile on each side of said railroad, on the line thereof, and within the limits of ten miles on each side"</em>.
On the other hand, loans from $16000 per mile of flat prairie railroad were authorized up to $48000 when companies worked in a mountain.

Roosevelt stopped short of asking that Americans remain emotionally neutral in the European conflict. FDR knew that the only chance Britain and France would have to defeat the German Reich was to have ample supplies of weaponry. He immediately began to press Congress to repeal the ARMS EMBARGO.
The request was simple. Allow trade of MUNITIONS with belligerent nations on a "cash and carry" basis. There would be no danger to American shipping if the Allies had to carry the supplies on their own ships. Isolationists were concerned, but support for the President's initiative was strong enough. The NEUTRALITY ACT OF 1939 ended the arms embargo and permitted the sales of munitions on a "cash and carry" basis.
