On Saturday, June 12, 2010, the Construction Department of the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum did some more work around the new siding the museum has been building west of the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad. On this day, the job was to consolidate two large dirt piles into one. To do this, the museum's restored Cat D7E dozer got the call along with a little help from the museum's Case backhoe. Here are a bunch of images of the equipment working and of the siding under construction especially those areas which still need to be ballasted, leveled and tamped.
Preserving Rochester's rich railroading heritage since 1937. We're open to the public June through October, visit www.rochestertrainrides.com for details.
About
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.
