Detailed Solution

The spread of railways required deforested land to lay railway tracks. And wood to lay railway sleepers. The expansion of the railways supported the growth of the colonial government in trade and the movement of troops from one place to another. Railway line sleepers were essential to hold the tracks together because tracks were made of iron. As the expansion of railway tracks happened, a large number of trees were cut indiscriminately. Wood was used as fuel for the railway, which also increased the pace of cutting trees.
