Detailed explanation-1: -Railroads Replace Steamships But while river transportation had improved greatly, it still could not compete with the expanse and speed of the railroad system. Though not depicted in Storm King, the railroad and steam-powered locomotive had arguably had the greatest impact on both transportation and western expansion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The steam engine resulted in the creation of semi-automated factories, and it increased goods production in places where water power was not available. In the 1800s, once coal-fired steam engines had been adapted for use with railways and ships, the international trade of goods and resources expanded tremendously.
Detailed explanation-3: -People were now able to travel greater distances because they could not only travel on land via the railroad but on water via steamboats. Until the steam engine was created there was only a few ways people could get around either by land or by boat. The railroad system revolutionized transportation.
