Go further back in time and horses were the main form of transpotation. But in the Native Americans , who originally had no horses used dogs. Go even further back and walking was the main form of transportation.

Occasionally the Native Indians would "harass" the railroad. The livestock would be shot at, stations terrorized, and work crews could be shot at. Twice Indians sabotaged the rails and also a Cheyenne raiding party tried to derail a train, killing g all the crewmen apart from one, who was scalped. Another tribe called Sioux tried and killed two crewmen. However one tribe, the Pawnee Indians, welcomed the train, protected it from the Sioux, and allowed a railroad to run on their land. In return they were given work on the trains.

Technology had both positive and negative impacts on Native Americans. Initial contact with European explorers brought new tools, weapons, and trading opportunities which benefited some tribes. However, the spread of diseases, loss of land, and disruption of traditional ways of life had devastating consequences for many Indigenous communities.
