Rail vs Canal Costs in Early Maryland Inland Development
An 1831 report from Baltimore and Ohio railroad chief engineer argues railroads cost less than canals. It compares three routes along the Potomac, detailing canal and railroad expenses, locks, and bank lining. The opinion favors railroads for Maryland, estimating far lower total cost to Cumberland and noting canal costs may double railroad prices on similar terrain.
