The Pacific Railway Acts granted railroad companies large land grants and federal loans to encourage the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.

They helped maintain peace and stability during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, enforced Canadian sovereignty in the west, and facilitated peaceful relations with Indigenous peoples. Their presence contributed to the growth and development of Canada by ensuring safety and security in the region.
