Grading work around the Restoration Building

Clear, graded & ready for stone... To continue to finish areas around the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum's Restoration Building, the east side of the building was graded with plans to install crusher run to provide a solid surface next to the building as both a road and a place to park our volunteer's vehicles.

More dirt to go! Although the R&GVRRM has moved thousands of cubic yards of dirt to allow it to install the restoration building north yard seen to the left in this image, there is still lots more dirt to be moved to further level the area north and east of the building.

Deck removal on our NYC flatcar

On this sunny day, we find the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum's ex-New York Central Railroad Pullman PS-4 flatcar #506102. The museum continues to remove the rotted deck with the goal of restoring the car to its NYC paint scheme and replacing the deck.

Close up... A closer view showing the deck removed from the south end of the car.

Signals at the R&GVRRM

Signals... The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum has an ongoing project to signal a portion of its demonstration railroad with real working railroad signals from a variety of different railroads that served Rochester. Here we see the former Erie Railroad semaphore along with a close-up of the signal head that controls movements in the "Hill" block which is the first block out of the museum's Industry yard.
