Railways and their vast impact on New England and beyond
The piece argues railways transform economy and society, citing Massachusetts and Western states. It highlights railway costs per mile, land values, urban growth, and regional trade expansion. It contrasts 19th century progress with older transport, noting Boston and New England suburbs profiting from railroad, canal, and telegraph advances. It includes historical context on global transport milestones and the rise of rapid communications shaping settlement and markets.
