Who controlled the railroad industry during the industrial revolution?

During the Industrial Revolution, the railroad industry was primarily controlled by a few powerful railroad magnates and companies, such as Cornelius Vanderbilt and his New York Central Railroad, as well as the Pennsylvania Railroad. These leaders exerted significant influence over the industry through aggressive expansion, consolidation, and strategic investments. Government regulation was minimal at the time, allowing these individuals and companies to dominate the market and shape the economic landscape. This concentration of power often led to monopolistic practices and widespread impact on commerce and transportation.
