Any improved system of transportation helps the economy of a nation and aids development. Railroads moved crops to market . They moved coal to places that burned it. Passenger service created the tourist business for places like Florida and Colorado. Railroads sped mail delivery and mail was very important to business before telephones. Railroads provided rapid shipping of heavy items to people who lived far from the river routes. Railroads were better able to move freight during winter and spring when dirt roads became impassible. The transcontinental railroad connected the West Coast with the rest of the country.
