They revolutionized the way that goods and people traveled, allowing industry to blossom by bringing raw materials and workers where they were needed.Rail travel made a huge difference to personal mobility, allowing the individual the chance of traveling a greater distance faster than before. Within a hundred years of its invention, rail travel was possible on nearly a million miles of track worldwide, from the London underground commuter network to the massive Trans-Siberian Railway that crossed the frozen wastes of Asiatic Russia.
By the early decades of the 20th century, nearly 900,000 miles of railroad had been built in the world, with some mileage in nearly every nation.
