To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The motive power for hauling the vessels over the railway will not be difficult to design or build ; it is simply a question of amount of power. We know that loads up to two thousand tons are now hauled on ordinary railways by the freight en- gines of the day.. If one of these engines will haul a train of half a mile in length over the grades and around the curves of our railways at a rate of speed of from fifteen to twenty miles per hour, will any one question the ability of locomotives especi...ally designed and of great traction power, to move easily a compact mass on three straight tracks with the opportunity of attaching, if necessary, three engines in front and three in the rear of the carriage ? In reference to the above description it should be stated, that the working plans of full-sized works pontoon, car- riage and floating turntable, have been reduced in scale to the size of a working model which, when the parts are connected, is about thirty feet in length, with a perfect modeled steamer about 7^ feet long.
