How did the railroads affect cities?
When the railroads were first being built, they had a big impact on the cities. Trains allowed the people in the cities to get more goods than they could before, and trains allowed people living outside cities to sell their produce and wares further away from where they lived. The overall impact on cities was that people could buy more things for less money.
What role did the railroads and the telegraph have on the Civil War?
Railroads allowed armies to move long distances much more quickly than by marching, and the telegraph was a much faster means of communication than messengers on horseback. As a result, an army's operational radius was vastly increased. It was not perfect as the railroad and telegraph lines had to be built in advance, but it was still a great improvement for the day. Before World War 1, trucks and radios were in existence, but armies were still mostly dependent on telegraph (or telephone) for communications and railroads for transportation, and they would remain dependent on them until after World War 2. Railroads and telegraphs seem antequated today, but during the Civil War they were a major military advance.

Who invented the railroads you use today?
George Stephenson, around 1825. The 4' 8 1/2" gauge was used by horse drawn wagons in mines for years before and was adopted as standard across the USA, UK and most of Europe. Other gauges were tried and dropped, in favour of standardisation. * Added - Although George was responsible for standardizing the railroad tracks and advancing railroads, he was not the inventor of the locomotive or of the railroads. The recognized locomotive inventor is Richard Trevithick in 1803, but his invention relied on inventions of many people before him as well. The first railroads date to the 1500's and many people were responsible to advance them to what they are today.
