In December 1913, the electric railway service known as the Niagara, St. Catharines & Toronto (NS&T) arrived in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Without delving too deeply into its full route from St. Catharines, the train travelled from the terminal on Geneva Street to Lakeshore Road, passing through the community of McNab. From Hunter Road, the railcar continued toward Niagara Stone Road and eventually along King Street to the docks.

This photograph captures the railcar travelling up King Street. Visible in the image are what we now know as the Irish Harp Pub, Balzac’s (which at the time served as the train station), and Aura-on-the-Lake.
