In the seventeenth century road transport was still at a very rudimentary stage of development, ensuring that on its finalisation the canal was in a position to dominate travel to and from the county.
As the railways offered a far speedier form of transport, their advent inevitably ensured the passing of the canal as the primary means of travel in the country and their initial arrival aroused a great deal of confrontation and bitterness between the canal companies and their new rivals.
This was only barely sustainable in the hey-day of railtransport, but on the coming of independence it was clear that it was not a situation which could be allowed to persist indefinitely.
Water transportation had always been popular and favorable on the Connecticut River, for commerce as well as travel, and the river was still a very active waterway in these years.
Rail lines along the coast opened between New London and New Haven in 1850, and between New London and Stonington in 1858.
Rail expansion continued until 1920, when there were 938 miles of track in the state.
