A transcontinental railroad is a contiguous network of railroad trackage[1] that crosses a continental land mass with terminals at different oceans or continental borders. Such networks can be via the tracks of either a single railroad, or over those owned or controlled by multiple railway companies along a continuous route. Although Europe is crisscrossed by railways, the railroads within Europe are usually not considered transcontinental, with the possible exception of the historic Orient Express.[citation needed]
Transcontinental railroads helped open up unpopulated interior regions of continents to exploration and settlement that would not otherwise have been feasible. In many cases they also formed the backbones of cross-country passenger and freight transportation networks.
The transcontinental railroads created a nation-wide transportation network that united the Nation. This network replaced the wagon trains of previous decades which became useless. It allowed for the transportation of larger quantities of goods over longer distances. This was especially helpful for the industrial development in some countries at the time.

Railroads allowed for faster movement of goods, across a wider distance, than had been possible before. Simple as that. Especially with regards to the US transcontinental rail system, it changed a 6 to 9 month sea voyage from New York to San Francisco to a week-long rail journey.
