African Americans worked as deck hands on canal boats, but were banned from owning their own until after the Civil War. There were black boat captains during the 1870s. By the final years of the canal, however, only one African American canal boat family was still listed. Once boatbuilder Canal Towage began supplying the canal boats, the days of each boat having a unique name like the Reed faded into the past. Inst...)

While ironic in retrospect 64 years later, it was in many ways prescient. At the time, the U.S. economy was in recession and the westbound hump operations had been moved to Cumberland. Yet some furloughed car repair workers expected to be recalled as snowy conditions created extra maintenance jobs. Mayor James Cummings and Bank of Brunswick executive Emory Frye were optimistic...)
