The canal boats were built to be split in half, and the halves rode a flat car up. I believe they did loose freight, as well. They used hemp ropes, with the occasional disaster. The entire system, called the Main Line of Public Works, was a pretty odd affair, meant to compete with the Water Level Route of the Erie Canal.
