Here is the illustration on page 27 of a 40-page book published by Louis T. Henderson entitled "Trains: A Children's Picture Book Of Trains And Stories About Them." It was issued originally in 1935. Photo Caption: "Early railroad travelers crossed the Allegheny Mountains in boats mounted on wheels." The implication here is that this sectional canal boat ~ named the "Sarah Jane" ~ has arrived safely in Pittsburgh after crossing the Alleghenies from Hollidaysburg via the Allegheny Portage Railroad. |
