In 1860 there was only 1,500 miles of track in the United States and the invention of steel allowed for more track. By 1879 there was 5,006 miles of track. Farm machinery began to use steel as well and in 1851 the washing machine was invented. With the invention of the elevator in 1853 and with steel buildings could now be several stories tall so the skyscraper was invented.
