An Age of Industry
First used to report the current location of trains, the telegraph further
facilitated the growth of the railroads, as well as financial and commodity
markets by reducing the cost of transmitting information within and between
firms.
Development of Railroads
During the 1880s, America’s railroads laid more than 75,000 miles of
new track, the most anywhere in history. Between 1865 and 1916, the
transcontinental network of railroads, America’s “magic carpet made
of steel,” expanded from 35,000 miles to over 254,000 miles.
