Notes
Here is another way steam was used, this time to the detriment of steamboats and railroads. It is seen chopping away at the hillside opposite of Madison, Indiana, where a new road is being made to connect with the Madison-Milton Bridge. The advent of cars and trucks would bring about a decline in the steamboat and railroad trade.
