ESE Window Replacement
Museum volunteer Dale Hartnett smiles for the camera while working to replace old windows on the museum's Empire State Express train. Replacing the old fogged window glazing with new material will offer our passengers better views of the passing scenery when we resume excursions.
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.
