Answer:

Increase in the demand for raw materials.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Railroads had a very important role in the economic history of the US. The railroads increased the demand of the American industry because it made transportation easier so increased the demand for new products which eventually led to an increase of the capacity of the industries. All of this at the end increased the demand for raw materials for the production of the goods.
