Question

In two or three sentences, describe the connection between the development of steel and the development of railroads.

Answer 1

Railroads used iron to build railroad tracks, but iron was weak and dangerous. Soon people realized that steel was a better material for tracks because it was able to hold more weight than it would allow for heavier cargo. Railroads also transported the minerals needed to forge steel.

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

• Increasing demands have always resulted in the identification of new sources.
• Transportation necessitated the development of railroads. Steel was discovered to be a solid metal with a wide range of applications.
• Iron was used to make train tracks, but it was both weak and dangerous.
• Steel was soon discovered to be a superior track material since it could support more weight, allowing for bigger load.
• Minerals needed to forge steel were also transported by railroads.
