a growth in the steel industry.
Explanation: Railroads required huge quantities of iron and then steel for rails, bridges, locomotives, and cars, which spurred expansion of the steel industry. Rail expansion also increased demand for coal and helped industries like meatpacking (via refrigerated cars), rather than causing declines.
