This week, we’re reading Go West! It is about the way railroads changed the Southwest.  The main idea is that the railroad helped the Southwest grow.  The railroad made it possible for farms and industries to succeed.  For example, trains helped deliver crops and meat to the East.  Trains also brought settlers to the Southwest and created new towns.  Today, many big cities are along old railway lines.  As we read, we are finding out that the details in the article support the main idea.

Crazy Hair Day Pictures!
