    Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I

    Intensive Level Survey Historic Resources – Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I 3.0 Historical Overview This section provides a narrative history of the City of Niagara Falls with specific emphasis on the Downtown neighborhood. The overview addresses significant trends and themes associated with the city’s historic context. The Downtown neighborhood’s period of significance is identified and examined in this chapter. Martin Wachadlo, architectural historian, conducted the background historic research. 3.1 Niagara County: Physiology and Geology Figure 3-1. Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, New York Niagara County borders the southern shore of Lake Ontario in the extreme northwestern corner of New York State, and occupies part of the Huron and Ontario Plains. The Ontario Plain comprises part of Lake Ontario to the foot of the Niagara Escarpment1, and the Huron plain extends from the crest of the escarpment southward beyond the county line. The Niagara Escarpment begins in Watertown, New York, USA and extends westerly along the Manitoulin Island in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The escarpment continues through Wisconsin and Illinois. With geological material measuring 64-ft thick, the stratigraphy at Niagara Falls provides a glimpse into the overall rock types comprising the Niagara Escarpment (Figure 3-1). The top layer is Lockport Dolomite, a hard rock referred to as the "Lower Silurian Group." Below the top layer is Rochester Shale, which is much softer and wears away easily with the effects of erosion. Under the shale are harder strata of limestone and dolostone known as the "Clinton Group." Below the harder strata is Grimsby sandstone.

Washingtg_n, DC 20590 __ RE: Excursion Service Glazing Waiver Request Gentlemen: The Medina Railroad Museum, an excursion train ride operator, hereby requests a waiver of Title 49 CFR Part 223 on Safety Glazing for one of our passenger cars. Background The Medina Railroad Museum (MRRM) is located in Medina, NY halfway between Niagara Falls and Rochester, NY on the Falls Road Railroad po, a shortline branch of Genesee Valley Transportation Corp. (GVT). We are a Non-Profit 501 (c)(3), New York State Education Corporation, formed in November 1997, that preserves railroad history for the enjoyment and education of the public. The museum boasts the largest collection of RR artifacts and memorabilia known to exist anywhere in the world. The museum has operated excursion trains over the Falls Road Railroad Company's trackage between Medina and Lockport, NY utilizing 1948 Budd coaches leased from the Western NY Railway Historical Society. Motive power, operating personnel and dispatch services have been provided by Falls Road Railroad Company, a division of Genesee Valley Transportation. Grant funding from the State of New York has permitted the museum to purchase seven passenger cars and two locomotives. These units need servicing and upgrades and will be placed into service as the necessary work is completed and each unit meets regulatory standards.
