Happy Memories: Port Dalhousie and The SS Cayuga in the early 50's.

Have many happy memories as a 12 year old kid on board the 1900 hundred passenger SS Cayuga (It was named after one of the tribes of the Six Nations Confederacy.)  I took many trips with my parents to Niagara-on-the-Lake (Port Dalhousie), and Lewiston, New York, a 2 hour trip from Toronto, but sadly the ship was retired in September 1957, eventually reduced to scrap in 1961.  There have been many attempts to bring back a trip to Niagara Falls Ontario, but the public doesn't want nostalgia, they want speed, every idea has flopped since....Full history of the Cayuga..https://tayloronhistory.com/2013/04/06/torontos-architectural-gemsthe-old-cayuga/

This was the scary electric railway (below) that operated along the Canadian side of the Niagara Gorge from Port Dalhousie to the Niagara Falls Park Lands.  Long gone now.  Reference: http://transit.toronto.on.ca/regional/4756.shtml 

They had all the infrastructure in place for public transportation, but then they widened the Queen Elizabeth Highway and the car was again king .  Political suicide, shameful.
