Read this and find the answers to the questions Railroads Compete for Customers
Railroad companies competed fiercely to keep old customers and win new ones. Large railroads offered discounts called rebates (REE • bayts) to their biggest customers. Smaller railroads that could not match these prices were often forced out of business. Giving discounts to big customers, however, meant higher rates for farmers and other customers who shipped small loads.
The railroad barons also made secret agreements with one another to form pools. The companies in a pool divided up business among themselves and set identical rates. This eliminated competition that might drive rates down. Higher rates meant higher profits. There were some laws to regulate the railroads, but they did little to stop the barons.
Railroads Change America
The growing railroad network helped American industry expand into the West. For example, the manufacturing center for farm equipment moved from New York State to Illinois and Wisconsin. Railroads also changed where people lived. Trains brought homesteaders, merchants, and mine workers onto the Great Plains and into the West. They moved people from rural areas to cities as well.
