| Railroads in Texas from Fort Worth, TX, and Beyond! | Early settlers in Texas encountered some transportation challenges due to the geography of this region. River bottoms were prevalent along the Gulf Coast and throughout eastern and southern regions of the state. The rivers in Texas were really not sufficiently deep to enable navigation by steamboat throughout every month of the year. If roads even existed, they were often impassable due to weather conditions. The state tried to resolve these problems by improving rivers and building plank roads. It wasn’t until the expansion of railroads hit Texas that transportation improved for this state.
