The Niagara Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of New York. The line runs from Buffalo north and west to Niagara Falls[1] along a former New York Central Railroad line. Its south end is at the Buffalo Terminal Subdivision; its north end is near the Canada–US border at the Whirlpool Bridge. It junctions the Belt Subdivision in Buffalo and the Lockport Subdivision east of Niagara Falls.[2][3] Amtrak's Maple Leaf operates over the entire Niagara Subdivision; the Empire Service uses the line up to the border at the Niagara Falls station. HistoryThe Buffalo and Black Rock Railroad opened a line from downtown Buffalo north to Black Rock in 1834. The Buffalo and Niagara Falls Railroad extended the line to Tonawanda in 1837{{Fact|date=February 2007}} and Niagara Falls in 1840, coinciding with the current line south of the curve near Wheatfield.[4] The line from Niagara Falls east to what is now the west end of the Lockport Subdivision opened in 1838 as part of the Lockport and Niagara Falls Railroad.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} A cutoff bypassing downtown Niagara Falls opened in or near the 1950s, forming the current line.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} The line became part of the New York Central Railroad and Conrail through leases, mergers, and takeovers, and was assigned to CSX Transportation in the 1999 breakup of Conrail.
