That sling mode of transport was used to move huge redwood logs, again by horse (or oxen) power. I've always thought they would make great battering rams.
As for "a level smooth track, good traction, and well greased wheels," hasn't that been the point of rail transport all along?

Is "Rrailroad" really clever?
