What were the benefits and drawbacks of having a railroad run through your city in the 1800s?



This is what I have so far.

Benefits:

Faster transportation of goods

Shorter trips

More connections

Better business

Commercial traffic

GDP

Drawbacks:

Pollution

Immigrants who built them died from labor

Safety Issues- sickness could spread easier

the town would often have to physically rearrange businesses.

Verified Answer :

for drawbacks you could add more accidents (people getting hit or falling off trains), more bandits, homes would have to be built elsewhere. Just my opinions :)
