Joe -- Bobpursley gave you the answer to the first question. Now it's your turn.
We'll be glad to check your answers to the last two questions you posted.
for #1 I think its C.and #2 A
communities welcomed railroads, and fought each other, and bribed officials, so they would be on the railroad route. Railroads were seen as the pathway to economic gain, just as good roads are now seen.
Also, the railroads caused people to adopt time zones. Before that time, each community operated on its own time.
