Pools were one of many ways to avoid competition while getting the biggest profit possible from the users of the railroads. Pools were negotiated agreements between two or more railroad lines to divide the traffic and charge the highest rate possible. They eventually were declared illegal by law.

How did Andrew Carnegie get into the Steel business?

Andrew Carnegie worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He continually created products they needed to solve those problems and made the companies to produce them. Eventually he owned a number of different companies producing a variety of products. He took a trip back to his home in Scotland. In England he saw the Bessemer Converter producing steel. He realized that steel railroad tracks would be far superior to iron tracks. He returned to the United States and sold all his companies and built a steel mill using the Bessemer Converter. He sold railroad tracks. Other companies in the United States had built Bessemer Converters before he did. He was the first to use the steel for railroad tracks. Since iron tracks wore out in few years, there was tremendous demand for Carnegie railroad tracks. He not only build the factory but also saw where its products were needed.
