One of the longest lasting warranties available is the powertrain warranty, but what exactly does it cover? In simple terms, a powertrain warranty covers the parts of a car that provide power and make it move. Typically that involves the engine, transmission and drivetrain.
Jeffersonâs prosperity didnât last, though. Steamboating nationwide eventually began to give way to the rise of railroads, and in 1873, the government blasted holes in the Great Raft. Upstream, water levels on the Big Cypress dropped, making navigation to Jefferson difficult. That same year, another blow came when the Texas and Pacific Railway, which went from Texarkana to Marshall, bypassed Jefferson. By 1885, more than half of the townâs population had moved away.
By 1870 Jefferson, with a population of 4,180, was the sixth largest city in Texas. Between 1867 and 1870 trade grew from $3 million to $8 million, and in the late 1860s more than 75,000 bales of cotton were being shipped annually. By 1870 only Galveston surpassed Jefferson in volume of commerce.
