Falls Incline Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Falls Incline Railway ran from the International Railway Co. (IRC) station "Clifton Incline" to the base of the Niagara Gorge where passengers boarded the Maid of the Mist. The Falls Incline Railway interchanged with IRC until September 11, 1932 when the IRC abandoned the "Canadian Scenic Line", which ran from Chippawa to Queenston. In 1947 the Falls Incline Railway demolished the IRC station. Later the railway was owned by the Swiss company Von Roll. The Falls Incline Railway was replaced with a funicular in 1991. This is regarded by locals as "The Day The Sunshine Died".
