Railroads
As the United States grew, so did the need for a more reliable transportation system. Travel was difficult in Texas, and it worsened by the expansive and unforgiving terrain in the west. Businesses also needed a way to ship their goods through the expanding area. This prompted the construction of the first railroad in Texas, which opened in 1853.
