Western Railway (U.S.)

Western Railway was a key regional railroad system operating in the western United States, primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It connected the Midwest to the Pacific regions, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and resources across vast distances. As a major part of the broader railroad expansion, it contributed to economic growth, settlement, and the development of western cities. Western Railway's operations helped integrate remote areas into national markets, supporting industries like agriculture and mining. Today, its legacy persists through successor companies that continue to serve transport needs in the western U.S.
