The Niagara River was the site of the earliest recorded railway in America. It was an inclined wooden tramway built by [[John Montresor]] (1736–1799), a British military engineer, in 1764. Called "The Cradles" and "The Old Lewiston Incline," it featured loaded carts pulled up wooden rails by rope. It facilitated the movement of goods over the [[Niagara Escarpment]] in present-day [[Lewiston, New York]].<ref name=Porter>{{বই উদ্ধৃতি | শেষাংশ=Porter |প্রথমাংশ=Peter |শিরোনাম=Landmarks of the Niagara Frontier |প্রকাশক=The Author |বছর=1914}}</ref>
