More track construction progress...
With the last piece of track completed inside of the building, the track construction has begun on Track 8 south of the restoration building. With this track, both bays of the building finally have tracks all the way through them. This greatly increases our capacity for storage, and will allow us to keep the active equipment free and ready for service.
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.
