That is the Marxist blabbering.
Romans build massive infrastructure projects improving effeciency despite "why bother when have dem slaves" Marxist meme. See roads and aqueducts.
Railroads (even with horse carriages) would be radical improvement to their logistics comparing to stone paved roads but Rome simply had no prerequisite tech for railroads. They couldn't make rails, their bloomery metallurgy was insufficient.
