Amphibious Locomotive Aims for Great Speed and Water Travel
The New York Albion reports an omen of a bold amphibious locomotive that would ride land rails to Lake Erie, enter water as a steamboat, then reach Monroe and Lake Michigan to feed Chicago. It would carry a 500 ton vessel and seek speeds of 125 mph on land and 25 mph on water, potentially removing the need for ship canals.
