		The rails were of a 'T' section laid level with the road surface on longitudinal wooden sleepers, with the web of the rail recessed into the timber.
		The cars were fitted with a fifth wheel which had a centre flange and which would engage with the grooved rail and thus steer the car keeping the running wheels on the rails.
		The patent also shows an alternative method of operation whereby the guide wheel was held to the rail by its own weight and was connected to a foot pedal by a chain instead of levers, the driver pressing the pedal to raise the guide wheel which could then be latched in the up position.

		A 50-foot distance along the rail is displaced to the side by about 16 inches from a straight line at the full distance when the curvature is a nominal three degrees, a “sharp” curve by today’s railroading standards but a gentle one by the standards of 1869.

	Using GIS to map rail network history Journal of Transport History, The - Find Articles
		Research on the history of transport systems often involves the creation of maps to represent the conditions of a transport network at a given point in time, or perhaps a series of maps showing the development of the transport network.
		Fundamentally most transport systems consist of linear links between places, so it should be possible to use basic GIS features such as lines and points to represent the transport system.
		However, there are inherent complexities in transport networks and their histories that make development of such a GIS database more difficult.

		But rivalries between the ever growing railroads and the lake vessels for the transport of grain eastward soon threatened the role of the city as a major point of transfer of grain from lake vessels to canal and rail transport.
		This major agricultural phenomenon (which was matched by a similar growth of grain farming in Kansas and Nebraska) was to restore the city to its position as the strategic transfer point in the westward to eastward movement of grain and flour.
		In addition, new rail lines in Minnesota allowed millers and grain shippers to bypass the congested freight yards of Chicago and to shorten the distance to Atlantic ports by placing grain cargo on lake freighters bound for Buffalo at Gladstone.
