Engraving of John Bourne's proposal for a River Steam Train for use on the rivers of India, 1849. At that time, India had a poor transport network and Mr. Bourne felt that shallow draft barges pulled by a paddle steamer could navigate India's shallow, winding river system. Bourne's plans were rejected by the East India Company.
