Henderson in Allegany County, Cumberland, holds that regular use of traction engines on state roads transforms the highway into a rail route and can be stopped by county and state authorities. He notes tractors are proper transport but daily heavy wagon trains threaten road integrity and require enforcement to prevent costly damage.
