A Pyrrhic victory

The name comes from King Pyrrhus of Epirus (an ancient Greek state, on the northwestern part of the Greek peninsula).  At the battles of Heraclea<span> (280 BC) and </span>Asculum<span>in (279 BC), Pyrrhus defeated the Romans but did so with massive casualty counts.  The Romans also suffered large numbers of casualties, but they had more men they could bring to replace them, where Pyrrhus did not.  So by 275 BC, Rome was able to win the Pyrrhic War.</span>

kondaur [170]
They failed because nobody cared about the railroad. The railroad had to be a government project with leases to companies but the government was too much involved in the slavery issue that it didn't have time to deal with railroads. That's why railroads boomed after the civil war ended.
