It's currently larger than the 1880s railroad boom.

"Overbuilding and speculative debt ultimately culminated in the Panic of 1893, plunging the nation into a severe economic depression."

Not according to Goog's. The railroad bubble of the 1880s was supposedly 60+% of the market. It may not be accurate though.

"During the 1880s, private railroad enterprises represented over 60% of the total capitalization of the entire U.S. stock market, peaking at 63% in 1881 and 1885."
