The development of the steam engine allowed the Industrial Revolution to push forward in a way that would not have been possible without it. Prior to the invention of steam, factories could only be run by wind or water. This greatly limited where factories could be located. The number of factories that could be built were now limitless.

The steam engine allowed settlement of the western United States. Not only did it transport the settlers but allowed commerce to flow between the western and eastern states. Goods from the west such as minerals, timber, crops and cattle could be transported east over greater distances in short periods of time.

It allowed transportation from trains and other things that run by engines.

Added: Prior to the invention of the steam engine the only certain force of motive power was wind or water. The steam engine was a totally portable source of motive power with which to operate heavy machinery and could be set up in any location, regardless of wind conditions or the water supply of flowing rivers and/or millponds. It truly was the engine that drove the Industrial Revolution.

Infrastructure (a country's transport) is crucial in industrialisation as it is needed to transport materials over the country. The steam engine, would allow materials to be transported to different factories but also the steam engines would have to be built so in itself the steam engine was a part industrialisation.
