Why did the growth of railroads during the late 1800s create a boom for the steel industry?

mining iron was costly and iron rails were too expensive for the railroads.

steel rails were much more durable than the iron rails that had been in use.

existing iron rails were stronger than steel but not flexible enough for freight rails.

steelmakers provided more and more rails as existing steel rails quickly wore out.
