The Gilded Age, an era of great wealth and vast power, was driven by the railroad industry. It was also a period when the Federal government finally decided to step off the sidelines and help direct the nation's economy by controlling the railroads. This program discusses America's Second Railroad Boom, which made the railroad industry the greatest industry in the United States. But the heyday of the railroads would end in the 20th century while the modern railroad industry of the 21st century emerged.
