Are railroads as important today as they were in 1800's?

Question

To be really honest with you, I don't know... didn't they replace railroads with trains....????

Answer 1

Oh, dear, Child!

Trains ARE railroads.

Trains carry passengers and goods. They run on railroad tracks. The railroad companies own them.

Railroads aren't as important now because goods and people are also transported in cars, trucks, and planes.
