In 1860, railroads were an efficient way to transport farm products to the growing cities in the eastern part of the United States. Due to the Louisiana Purchase, it was also clear that rail systems would be needed west of the Mississippi to fully develop this immense tract of land. Plans for a transcontinental railroad had already been made.
The advent of the US Civil War, saw the railway systems used for military purposes. The rail system in the North had twice as many track miles as that of the South. Railroads soon became preoccupied with the profits to be gained by using track miles to transport troops and necessary supplies.
As it turned out the rail systems of the South, although smaller than the ones controlled by the Union were more efficiently used by Southern armies.
