    Um it totally revolutionized it. Before the railroads, farmers could only produce what they needed and enough to sell to the * nearby * people. With railroads, transportation was super duper cheap and maximum fast.

    It also changed communications, although the telegraph did that more, and it made the country a country that could be crossed in a matter of days, not months, so much smaller in a way.
