New deck, new paint for ex-Army 6x6

New deck... New paint... The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum owns several former military 6x6 trucks. Two are setup as dump trucks and this truck has recently been setup by volunteer Dan Waterstraat with a new flat bed deck for moving items around the museum. Along with the new deck, the truck has received all new paint and new museum logos. These vehicles are used to support our various construction projects at the museum.

Seeing double... Trackmobiles!

Seeing double... Along with its collection of locomotives, the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum rosters two operating Whiting TM-5 Trackmobiles. Capable of running on the road or the rail, the Trackmobiles provide the museum great flexibility in moving its equipment since they can drive themselves to where they are needed and then lower themselves on to the rail to act as a small locomotive.

Fireless Hiesler at R&GVRRM

Waiting for shop time... The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum's ex-Connecticut Light & Power Heisler fireless steam locomotive is seen through one of the door's of the museum's restoration building. The engine is waiting some shop time to continue its progress toward operation. To date, the cylinders and valve gear have been rebuilt amongst other components. The locomotive is similar to switchers that were used by Kodak at its Kodak Park manufacturing facility.
