Answer:

Many cities became industrial centers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The railroads stimulated the transport not only of products, but also of machinery and equipment at a speed never seen before. This encouraged some cities to invest in industrial production, as this was a profitable industry and would stimulate the local economy. This made many cities to become large industrial centers, have a strong economy and build the basis for the industry we know today.
