The St Catharines Museum<\/a> is right by one of the big Welland Canal locks, so many of you may have been there at one point or another. It is a nice little museum that has a fair amount of artifacts on display. This is a photo of one of the displays that is specifically related to Niagara Falls:<\/p>\n

The small sign in the upper left corner has the following:<\/p>\n

Niagara’s Streetcar
\nWhen its wooden cars were converted from horse power to electric power in 1887, the Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto Railway became one of the first electric inter-urban railway lines in Canada. And when the final run left Thorold on March 28, 1959, it was the last such service still in operation.<\/p>\n

During the seven decades in between, the NS&T carried as many as 8 million passengers a year, providing a vital link between Niagara communities<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can probably read this, but the big sign has the following:<\/p>\n

See!
\nNiagara Falls
\n“Scenic Historic”
\nCars leave here every hour at 35 minutes after the hour
\nAdults return 65\u00a2
\nChildren return 35\u00a2<\/p>\n

Purchase tickets at office<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had never heard of the NS&T Railway<\/a> before. I’m not sure when the “See! Niagara Falls” sign is from, but it’s neat that how ever many years later there are still people selling tours. They just cost a lot more than\u00a065\u00a2!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
