[edit] Category Portages
All of these railroads where not portages, but that is in my oppinion no reason not to include this in the Category:Portages. Wikipedia is not about classification but linking.
An other reason why I have included this article in the category, is that we do not yet have articles on inland navigation or pre-industrial travel. Also the Portage article is still a stub. All these articles could and maybe should link to this article. Now the category stands as a replacement or a precursor to the proper article. Once we have the links, maybe we can remove the category.

Pontchartrain Railroad (see Elysian Fields Avenue)

- [1] claims it was the "second completed" in the US. I presume "steam locomotive" is implied. What seems to be the validity of second completed? Were all but one other lines up before then still laying down additional track? Wondering, -- Infrogmation 16:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
