The era marks growing scale in engineering with longer ships on the Great Lakes and heavier railroad equipment. A Pennsylvania line train of 130 cars, nearly three quarters of a mile long and weighing 5330 tons, illustrates the shift.

Potatoes are processed through tearing, washing, and starch extraction, with byproducts fed to livestock and usable in distilleries and sugar factories.
