The railroads are the key to understanding the development of the American West because where there was a railroad, there was also a town. Towns were built so quickly that there wasn't anytime for roads. The railroads had cows in it so they can be sold. It is called the Long Drive and they got sold in New York other than Texas because in Texas, they were sold for $3 and in New York they were sold for $20.

The railroads are the key to understanding the development of the American west because it helped the westward region of the country to get around easyer and to send cattle for more money. It was worth more money in the south than the west. It also helped to develope boom towns.
