Hypothesis
Locomotive vehicles changed the way goods and pedestrians were transported in regards to speed and accuracy. Instead of people relying on waterways for the fastest mode of transportation, trains were able to bring people and goods, such as lumber, closer to their destination at a more rapid pace. For these reasons, I believe that trains would drastically increase the population of Green Lake, Wisconsin in the mid to late 1800s.
