The so called Industrial Revolution was well under way by the time the railways became commonplace. In fact, the railways were a product, rather than a cause, of the Industrial Revolution. What they did do was make the transporting of raw materials - coal and iron ore from the mines, raw cotton from the docks - much cheaper and thus the goods produced cheaper. They also allowed mills and factories to move away from reliance on water power. This you had the growth of areas like Teeside with is iron industry with the ore being brought from places like Rosedale and coal from the Durham coalfields by train.

The railroad boom in Great Britain during the 19th century significantly contributed to the Industrial Revolution by enhancing transportation efficiency and connectivity. Railroads facilitated the rapid movement of goods and raw materials, reducing costs and time associated with shipping.
