Accidents
Many rockslides, some fatal, occurred throughout the railroad's history on the American side.
A very unlucky car of passengers were passing beneath a garbage chute in Niagara Falls, New York on Friday June 13, 1913 when it broke and buried the scene in garbage.
On July 7, 1915 a trolley with an extreme overload of 157 people ran away and crashed approaching the docks at Queenston, killing 15. The line was rebuilt.
Perhaps the most frightening accident took place in 1917, when a car took 50 lives into the raging river itself.
