Because railroads cost less to build and trains provided faster transport.

Since it's faster and cheaper, a lot of companies prefers to use railroads as a medium to distribute their products to the market rather than using canals and steamboats.

Due to its massive success, Railroad companies managed to collect enough capital to spread the railroad networks to more areas all across the country. This cause transportation vehicles such as steamboats and horses started to become obsolete.

Voices, thunderings

The reference you have in mind is from chapter 8 of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John.  Here's the section as quoted from the King James Version:

"Another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake"  (Revelation 8:3-5 KJV).

Answer:

Hunter-gathers: people who lived off wild  animals and plants.

Farmers: people who lived in a single  location, grew plants, and  often raised animals.

Nomadic Herders: people who kept groups of  domesticated animals and  traveled from place to place  in search of grass and water

Explanation:

  1. The key word in hunter-gathers, hunter explains that this include people hunting animals.
  2. Farmers are people who need to look after the farm to make sure the plants are growing sufficiently, which means that they have to stay in a single location.
  3. Nomadic means that they move place from place and herder is someone that looks after animals. These link to the the third answer (people who kept groups of  domesticated animals and  traveled from place to place  in search of grass and water).
