Ohio River carries vast annual trade despite rail routes
The Ohio River remains a major commercial artery moving about 10 million tons yearly with 90 percent of Mississippi trades exiting via the Ohio. Coal from Pennsylvania and West Virginia dominates shipments, hauled by stern wheel steamboats led by the Sprague. A Louisville to New Orleans voyage carried 57 500 tons, and Cincinnati sees up to 250 000 tons of coal and steel weekly. Rail would need 5 806 cars per run, 146 trains of 30 cars, and would still miss river throughput. This proves river transport has unlimited capacity, a point highlighted by the National Waterways report. Superstition aside, thirteen for a dozen.
