Maid of the Mist Incline, Funicular railway at Niagara Falls, Canada.

The Maid of the Mist Incline transported visitors between Clifton Hill and the boat dock through a 50-meter electric railway system.

Built in 1894 as the Clifton Incline, this transportation system operated with two 12-passenger cars until its renovation in 1976.

The funicular played an essential role in connecting tourists to the famous Maid of the Mist boat tours at Niagara Falls.

After extensive modernization in 1977, the new 24-passenger cars completed their journey in 45 seconds, increasing efficiency for visitors.

The structure remained intact after its 1990 closure until Hornblower Niagara Cruises reopened it with climate-controlled cars in 2019.
