Museum volunteer Dan Waterstraat uses the Rochester & Gensee Valley Railroad Museum's restored Caterpillar D7 bulldozer to prepare the roadway between Tracks 7 and 8 on the south end of the restoration building. Work will continue in this area to prepare for new track extensions that will help increase our storage capacity. Want to lend a hand?
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.
