The railroad industry might not have started in America, but the USA certainly played a HUGE part in it's history, peak, downfall, and reemergence.
We look into how the railroad industry grew, from animal drawn carts to the cross-country lines we have today, as well as how people made big money from a near monopoly on the rail industry and the resulting sanctions placed on it by the government.
Sit back in your luxury passenger car and enjoy this quick history of the rail industry!
