Summary
| Description |
English: A horse-powered coal train with a dandy-waggon. Coal waggonways ran under gravity where possible; horses pulled the empty train back uphill. To rest the animal during the downhill stretches, it was given a ride in the rear vehicle, called a dandy-cart or -waggon. Reportedly, horses were glad of the rest and jumped on spontaneously. An 1826 invention of locomotive engineer George Stephenson, they enabled horses to be continued in use on railways until 1907. (Tomlinson, 1915, pp. 153-8) |
