"Railroads expanded in the 1870's, and the O. & W. and the D. L. & W. railroads came in and replaced the need for the canal. The trains had some problems with the huge pieces of bluestone that the Clarke Company needed shipped. This was soon remedied with a creation by J. J. Treanor of Hurst and Treanor of Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. He designed a special railroad car that held stones, ordinarily too wide, up on its edge from the side of the railroad car. It was an ingenious invention that perfected the stone shipping business. "
