Summary
Railways were one of the original disruptive technologies: they transformed England from an island of slow, agricultural villages into a fast, urban, industrialized nation. Railways brought huge increases in efficiency, reducing production costs and facilitating the development of a new middle-class consumer to buy factory-produced goods. Because of their role as the driving technology of the industrial revolution, the 19th century became known as the "railway age."
