Grading the Road
Joe Scanlon grades the Restoration Building access road at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. The museum has a variety of heavy construction equipment that is used for various projects around our property each season.
The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum is operated solely by dedicated volunteers and works in partnership with the New York Museum of Transportation to bring the visitor a unique dual museum experience interpreting the railroad and transportation history of Rochester and Western New York. Established in 1971, our roots go back to 1937 as the Rochester Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, the third oldest chapter in the organization.
