Turnpikes lost popularity primarily due to the emergence of railroads in the 19th century, which offered faster and more efficient transportation for goods and passengers. The high tolls associated with turnpikes also became less appealing as alternative routes and transportation methods developed. Additionally, the expansion of the national road network and the advent of motor vehicles further diminished the reliance on turnpikes for travel and commerce.
