About This Item
Ontario, Canada: Mika Publishing Co, 1978. 1st Edition-2nd Impression . Hardcover. Good/Poor. 239 pages b/w photos - The development of railways in the peninsular strengthened existing settlements. Routes constructed during the 1850s along the 2 lakeshores, the Niagara River and the Welland Canal were augmented by 2 southern routes during the 1870s and a transverse Hamilton-Buffalo line in the 1890s. Settlement expanded at border crossing points, especially Clifton (now NIAGARA FALLS) at the Suspension Bridge and Victoria (Bridgeburg, now Fort Erie) at the International Bridge. Welland, at the hub of the peninsula, expanded "Where Rails and Water Meet" (its civic motto), as did Merritton. Railways also encouraged the emergence of fruit farming, which replaced wheat and mixed farming north of the Niagara Escarpment; cottage and recreational development along the shoreline of Lake Erie; and tourism at Niagara Falls. St Catharines became a spa, and religious campgrounds were introduced at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Niagara Falls, Crystal Beach and Grimsby Beach.

About Train World Pty Ltd
Train World commenced business at 615 Hawthorn road East Brighton in 1973. From a cabinet in a haberdashery store, Train World grew to take over half the shop in 1974 to take over the entire store and by 1977 it had taken over the shop and the rear residence. In 1981 the shop moved across the road to 624 Hawthorn Road East Brighton. Here too the shop grew and grew. So that by 1995 it had taken over the shop, the storage room area, the staff area, the garage, the rear warehouse and finally filling the entire building. Finally on 1st July 2012 Train world moved again to 290 Bay Street Brighton - Since the 1980s the focus of Train World has been trains and model trains, nothing but trains and everything to do with trains.
