Railroads

Railroads There were many revolutionary inventions that contributed to the giant leap made by America during the Industrial Revolution. There were inventions in the textile industry, inventions in transportation, and many other things and people that influence the Industrial Revolution. The Railroad was one thing that played a central role in the rise of the industrial nations. The development of the railroad was a major turning point in the Nineteenth century and in our American history. The American railroads helped to settle and expand America's borders further to the west. American lines reaching to the West had to find their own way through vast tracts of land. The railroads made settlement of these lands by American and European immigrant’s possible on an unprecedented scale. Agricultural and mining interests, for example, suddenly had easy access to an expanded range of markets that increased the value of their products.
