in the construction view it's the railroad.
generally speaking it's not really worth upgrading infrastructure until you're well into the game. the only major exception would be your capital, because capital is where supply flows from (it's also why if the capital is on the coast it's good to upgrade it's biggest port to level 10). even then you still wouldn't want to do that until the late 30's at the earliest.
Infrastructure also increases resource production, so is good in states with resources. It also gives a slight boost to construction speed.

Civilian factories are also used to trade for resources with other countries.

Civilian factories build stuff in the Construction tab, including upgrading infrastructure.
