Railroads were one of the main reasons why Britain was the first to experience the Industrial Revolution. Being able to transport the coal and lumber and iron necessary to build machinery and factories was an advantage the Britain had over all of Europe.
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.
The first American railroads were built in the early 19th century, with the inaugural line being the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which began construction in 1828. This railroad aimed to connect the ports of Baltimore, Maryland, with the Ohio River, facilitating trade and transportation. Other early railroads, such as the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company, also emerged around this time, marking the beginning of the rail industry in the United States.
