This 3.9 mile trail is composed of two segments on top of the former railroad bed in the Town of Tonawanda and the City of Tonawanda. The railroad corridor was operated for both freight and for passenger service dating back to the 1880s. Two tracks systems were in place. A westerly set of tracks was primarily operated for passengers and freight service by a succession companies beginning with New York & Erie Rai-Road Co., thru the Erie-Lackawanna Railway to 1968. The International Railway Company operated passenger service between Buffalo and Niagara falls from about 1918 to 1937 on the easterly set of tracks. In 1988, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) acquired the right-of-way (ROW) from the Consolidated Rail Corporation thru New York State legislation. This trail is constructed atop the westerly railroad bed. This trail, constructed in 2016 by Erie Country, is operated by the Town of Tonawanda and the City of Tonawanda in there respective jurisdictions thru a cooperative agreement with the NFTA. The cache itself is a film container in a tree. Good luck and have fun
