The Bessemer process was introduced at the end of the 1800s.

The Bessemer process was able to produce the first large scale manufacture of steel.

The solution was to turn to steel rails, which the Bessemer process made competitive in price.

Steel from the Bessemer process was made in open hearth furnaces.

Other major components of this infrastructure were the new methods for manufacturing steel, especially the Bessemer process.

Ward created steel rails beginning in 1865 for his railroads using the Bessemer process.

The Bessemer process took a couple of decades of development until it was able to produce quality steel.

Large amounts of steel had become available only after the invention of the Bessemer process in 1855.
