The title "Father of the American Railroads" is often attributed to John Stevens, who was a pioneer in railway development in the United States during the early 19th century. He built the first steam locomotive in America in 1825 and advocated for the use of railroads to improve transportation. His innovations and vision laid the groundwork for the expansion of railroads across the country.
A disadvantage of railroads is that they are expensive to built and maintain. Also, once the infrastructure is built it is hard to reroute trains.

The first railroads were built in the early 1800s in Britain, with the Stockton and Darlington Railway opening in 1825 as the first public railway to use steam locomotives. Prior to this, horse-drawn railways had been used in mining areas, such as the ones in Wales and the coalfields of northeast England. The development of these early railroads laid the foundation for the expansion of railway networks worldwide.

Before railroads were built in Texas, cattle had to be herded on cattle drives to the nearest railroad. The first railroads in the United States ran from east to west. After the railroads were built that ran north and south, the Texas cattle ranchers had less distance to cover to reach a railroad for transport.
