Subsidies are money provided by the government. When the government granted the railroads substantial subsidies, the railroads were able to expand and charge minimal amounts to their customers. Therefore, farmers and manufacturers could ship their products fairly cheaply all over the country. This gave them more customers and helped them grow.
