Prospect Park Incline Railway

It was built in 1845 on the United States side of the Niagara Falls at Prospect Point Park.

An accident in 1907 claimed a single life and lead to the closure of this line.

The line was originally on water counterbalance principals, but was later converted to electrical operation.

In 1910, it was replaced with elevators, which operated in separate shafts drilled through the rock and opened out to a building at the base of the gorge.

The elevators were replaced with the current Prospect Point Observation Tower in 1961.
