Well, that picture is of the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara, and if the Pennsy could have its Horseshoe curve, why not one between the U.S. and Canada, too?

I do like the railroad bridges over the Niagara Gorge, too...at least you can see the trains as they move across.

Kinda sounds like the waterfall the boats go behind on the junglecruise....   ladies and gentleman, the back side of water!  Still, an interesting idea.

George Selios would have someone going over the falls in a barrel.

The Train passes under the falls from the US side to the CAN side. Smile

You could hide several passing or staging tracks under there, and the whole falls can lift up to access these trains with no scenic elements to be damaged.
