The steam engine is the icon of the industrial revolution, it’s most famous incarnation is the steam driven locomotive. The union of steam and iron rails produced the railways, a new form of transport which boomed in the later nineteenth century, affecting industry and social life.

The railroads had a fairly large impact on the Industrial Revolution. Railroads could transport materials needed faster than before, which helped factories produce goods. This helped big business to grow. The railroad also let people from the country move into the city, which helped provide a work force for the factories. This helped big business even more.

The railroad also helped some industries such as the coal industry. Before, coal had to be mined, brought to the surface, and transported all by hand. Once railroads became popular, however, it became easier to move mined coal more quickly. The railroad also helped other industries, including the coal industry, by purchasing from them. The lumber and steel industries grew larger due to the supplies needed to build railroads
