In its fully developed form it consisted, in outline, of (1) a wooden railway sloping gently down to the staiths, and (2) wooden waggons, each holding two or three tonnes of coal, pulled by a horse, and controlled by a man – the waggoner.

The final solution to the problem, however, was the steam locomotive – it had all the advantages: no horses, no ropes to break, and infinitely extensible.
