The Industrial Revolution greatly affected transportation; no longer was it necessary to get from one place to another by canals and rivers, for the creation of rail transport was coming. Trams, steam engines, railways, steam locomotives, all of it was being used to revolutionize travel of both people and resources. These trains were hugely important to Britain; spreading very far along the land, and this makes sense, it was reliable and helped industries grow and supported the economy well, so it helped economy-wise, and it was about productivity. I wonder if creating and riding these trains was expensive at this time?

Transportation provoked the way of Industrial Revolution, and industrial revolution had great affets on trnasportaion. Through the transportation finished goods and products were sent quicker and easily. Rail road’s and canals were the two means that were used. At first canals were used, and then the railroads were invented. Railroads grew very important; it proliferated in England, from 1,000 miles in 1836 to more than 7,000 miles built by 1852. Sooner or later this started to help the economy. Question: What kind of people worked at the transportation? Morality and economics are always in conflict, can be seen through this because the railroads were a necessity production of innovation.

For long, people have been transported and transporting goods from one place to another by using a series of canals and rivers. The Industrial Revolution changed all of that. The idea of using railroads as transportation came around as the 1800s was coming up around the corner. To transport heavy coal from place to place, 200 miles of tramway were put in use in the 1800. Soon, numerous engineers tried to find a way to use the steam engines on the railways. Once they got both new ideas and connected them, railroad took over most of England with its thousands and thousands of miles long tracks. The developement of these tracks were important to the growing industries and England's economy. With a stronger, more reliable for of transportation created, the productivity of the nation increased because transportation is a crucial part to all economies.
Why do you think railroads, combined with the steam engine, were better than using canals and rivers as a form of transportation? Does any of it have to do with economies and money?
