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.

How did the mongols affect communication and trade in the east and west
sergey [27]

The Mongol expansion of the Asian continent during the period from 1215 to 1360 helped to stabilize the political process and redefined the Silk Road through Garkurm. The thirteenth century witnessed a Mongol-Afrangian alliance with an exchange of embassies and military cooperation with Cham and Palestine. Most of the European royal plaques between 1287-1288, as well as travelers Marco Polo and Monsieur William Rubrec, few European travelers traveled the entire Silk Road. Instead of traveling the goods were transported from one hand to another as a long chain from China to the West and the result is the high prices of goods that reach Europe.
