Great Gorge Route, 1899: A Glimpse into the Past of American Transportation This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the Great Gorge Route, a remarkable engineering feat of the time. The location of this image is the Niagara Gorge, straddling the border between New York State, United States, and Ontario, Canada. The Niagara Gorge Railroad, also known as the Great Gorge Route, was a vital transportation link during the 19th century, connecting the bustling cities of Buffalo, New York, and Toronto, Canada. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is believed to be a dry plate or glass negative, capturing the essence of the era with striking detail. The image reveals the railroad's intricate network of tracks, winding their way along the edge of the Niagara River, with the powerful waterfalls in the background. The electric railway, a testament to the technological advancements of the time, is seen carrying passengers and goods across the breathtaking landscape. The photographer of this image remains unknown, but it is believed that the photograph was taken by either Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both prominent photographers of the late 19th century. This photograph is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress and Detroit Publishing Company. The Great Gorge Route photograph is an invaluable piece of American heritage art, offering a glimpse into the past of transportation history. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the people who built and operated such railways, connecting communities and shaping the future of transportation in the United States and beyond.
