Plaque #7 – Port Dalhousie East

CRHA Niagara Division’s 7th plaque was unveiled in Port Dalhousie on the East side on Lighthouse Rd. The plaque commemorates the Niagara, St. Catharines and Toronto (NS&T)’s electric interurban passenger and freight service in Niagara. The NS&T system connected Toronto by boat, and by rail the Main Line between Port Dalhousie, Port Weller, St. Catharines, Merritton, Port Dalhousie, Thorold and Niagara Falls, and the Welland Division that went all the way from Thorold to Welland and Port Colborne. One of Canada’s first electric interurban railways, the NS&T began service in 1899, ending in 1959.
