Abandoned Niagara Gorge Streetcar Stop
Near the whirlpool in the Niagara River is a streetcar stop that has not been used since 1935. There are also remnants of the elevators that took tourists to the bottom of the gorge in the late 1800s. This is a quick video tour of what is left of these historic and forgotten structures.

The Queenston Lewiston Suspension Bridges
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 месяца назад
Before the current bridge, there were two suspension bridges used to cross the Niagara River between Queenston and Lewiston. When the first was destroyed the second was built in the same location. Relics of these crossings still exist on both sides of the border. This is a quick video tour of what is still left of these historic and forgotten structures.

    Nicely done. My father grew up in Buffalo and said that he rode the line. The book is quite good.

    My brother who lives i Welland just sent me a link to your videos .... amazing! I was born and raised in Welland ... did the fort and power plant tour each year ... missed many of these sites. My only issue is I really had problems finding info on some of these sites. It took several searches to find "Old Lowrey Mill". Maybe just a bit more info like where it is and what it was sued for. Other than that a truly fantastic video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Absolutely fantastic job on this video! I’ve been taking photos and drone video of these spots for years. No way I could top this. You answered a lot of questions on the history of some of these spots, some of which are in my own backyard.

    Very nicely done videos. Curious, what were the two tunnels for?

    • @relicsofniagara
      @relicsofniagara 9 месяцев назад

      The "Screaming Tunnel" is thought to be a drainage tunnel and to provide access to farms, allowing passage under a rail track. One of the St. David's Road tunnels allowed cars under the railroad while the closed tunnel was to let cars pass under the Welland Canal.

    Another winner, guys. GREAT finds. I particularly enjoyed the "...secret off the end of the Pier." First time I even heard about a train car in operation before bridges. What a SENSATIONAL find. Would be great to somehow find proof that IS the remains of "The International. Seems to me that needs a historical cairn as that's a BIG part of Niagara History. Congratulations again. I'll add your link to my Hidden Niagara promo...

  • @fearwidge
    @fearwidge Год назад

    Wow. Just WOW! What a FANTASTIC film you guys have created. I thought I knew ALL the secret places around Niagara, but I didn't know about ANY of these. Beautifully shot. Excellent Drone Work. Superbly Edited. A true masterpiece of a Short Film. My SINCERE congratulations. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to promote this on my "Hidden Niagara" video page. It has 400,000+ Views. Yours should have MORE. Can't wait to see Part Two. All the best & cheers, "Niagara Glenn" Norman

    Nicely done. Question about the canal boneyard at the north end of the canal. Do you know from where the bridge parts came from? And why were only some of the parts dumped there? Always been curious about that. Thanks.

    • @relicsofniagara
      @relicsofniagara Год назад

      There was a long thread on Facebook about a year ago with some retirees from the canal. They suggested all those parts are from the first lock in Port Weller.

    • @JohnDahl-bi3up
      @JohnDahl-bi3up Год назад

      They were part of the old cable arrestor arms which dropped the thick cable across the lock to prevent the ship from hitting the lock doors. When the arms were replaced, for some reason they deposited the old gear mechanism at the end of the pier
