They would dig and then lay more track.

Andrew Carnegie worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He continually created products they needed to solve those problems and made the companies to produce them.

He realized that steel railroad tracks would be far superior to iron tracks. He returned to the United States and sold all his companies and built a steel mill using the Bessemer Converter. He sold railroad tracks. Other companies in the United States had built Bessemer Converters before he did. He was the first to use the steel for railroad tracks.
