William Still is often regarded as the primary influence of the Underground Railroad. He wrote a book on his participation called "The Underground Railroad".
However, it was a somewhat more spontaneous thing, as such things always form in such conditions. The Society of Friends were probably the key "makers" of the Underground Railroad.

The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".

How did the railroad affected people's lives?
The underground railroad helped free about 75,000 slaves. Most went to Canada, which as a British territory did not permit slavery and did not allow sending slaves back.

If a person is descended from one of those 75,000, perhaps he owes his very existence to the Underground Railroad people.
