When did the transcontinental railroad start being built?
ANSWER:In Henry Clay's day "internal improvements" meant roads and canals. Later the burning question was the transcontinental railroad. Many companies were eager to lay tracks across the West, but all agreed that government help was necessary. The amount of money required to span the plains, mountains, and deserts of the West was more than any private corporation could muster. Nor were there yet enough people in the West to support the railroad. It would be sometime before such a venture was a paying proposition. No one thought of having the government build the railroad. It did not have the facilities. Besides, it had its hands full with the Confederacy.In 1862, Congress authorized the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads to build a railway across the West. The railroads planned to follow central route from Nebraska to northern California. To finance construction, the railroads were given millions of dollars in government bonds and a grant of public lands, amounting to alternate sections extending 20 miles on each side of the track. By 1869, iron rails bound the nation.

Industry affected when Andrew Carnegie brought the bessemer process to us?
It affected the steel and railroad industry. Iron was the main foundation of railroads and when the Bessemer process created massed produced amounts of steel, the railroad industry greatly increased to. The carbon in the iron in the older railroads made the foundation of those railroads brittle and not as sturdy as steel, the steel became an asset to railroad creation. The Bessemer process burns off the carbon in the iron, thus creating steel. This process made steel cheaper, and the people of the steel industry were positively affected because the people in the railroad industry wanted the steel for better rails. The railroad industry was positively affected because now it was safer and stronger. They can earn more money because there are less accidents and can ship more at one time.
