Answer:

Steel, oil, and agriculture businesses all benefited from the growth of railroads.

Explanation:

Because of railroads steel, oil, and agriculture became easier accessible resources.

Steel also contributed to the growth of railroads. The railroads were the biggest customers for the steel industry because thousands of miles of steel track were laid. In turn, the railroads had a great impact on the steel industry. To supply their biggest customers, steel producers developed cheap, efficient methods for the mass production of steel rails.

The railroad companies contributed to the development of the West by selling low-cost parcels of their western land for farming. Oil companies grew swiftly in this period, most notably the Standard Oil Company, founded by John D. Rockefeller.
