Comments on: Since I never had the opportunity to be on a train over this bridge, I can only imagine what it would feel like looking out the window. Not like being on a road where you can see the shoulders. Gads!! What a long way down. This image is of CP 8227 and 8234, a pair of GP9u locomotives now gone from the system; on their way into Canada. When rail traffic left downtown Niagara Falls in 2000, the bridge was abandoned. Too costly to tear it down. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

One-way fare in coach class from NF ON to NF NY, only $7. It’s a short but great trip !
