When this reconstruction was done, the canal was being operated by the Canal Transportation Company, which had been created by the receivership that took over under court supervision after the C&O Canal Company went bankrupt in 1889. By this time steam-powered equipment was available, making such heavy work as moving the large stones significantly easier than in the 19th century when such equipment did not exist.
