Not a bad idea really. You would want a more dedicated canalboat than that monster though.
Would be a bugger to code it all up though...

Well, if you could make it look like the horses were walking on the same tile as the canal (on the edge - the towpath, if you will), that probably wouldn't be too hard.

I've thought about this actually, and wondered how it would work. Technically though, it'd be an articulated ship... you'd need to turn the horses before the ship on curves so they didn't end up hovering over water.

Check the Generic Road Vehicle and Tram Set. The latest version of that set features horse drawn trams (and still some bugs, but I trust those to be fixed soon).

Corners would be messy with the towed boat - you have these poles at corners so that the ship doesn't cut corners.

Nice. Here's an inspiring idea for hauling logs

I have an idea for a tropic road vehicle replacement set kicking around - would be called 'Horn OK Please' - Indians will understand, for the rest of you there's Google
Don't hold your breath for such a set though!
(Apologies to those of you who have seen this on PM already)

That's pretty funny, and I can see the point! It's bad enough with car blind spots when someone overtakes you - never mind if you were driving a truck/bus

yeah, it's called "invisible catenary"... in OpenTTD press Ctrl+X for transparency and invisibility options
besides, i remember a discussion in the context of "Trails" that there might be plans to allow like 8 different road and tram types [but not all on the same tile], so you could have like road with catenary [for trolleybus] or tram without catenary [for horse tram]

Yeah, I haven't spotted that this is screenshot from OTTD.
