Touchdown! - Lehigh Valley Railroad #95100

Touchdown! Lehigh Valley caboose #95100 was mated back with its trucks at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum this morning. Saved from a local scrap yard and with the car now on the museum's property, work will shift to its restoration once it can be moved up to our shop. Congratulations to our R&GVRRM move team, and a HUGE thank you to the many people who contributed funds to allow us to save and move the car!

We now need to focus on raising the funds for restoration and information on how to donate can be found by clicking here so we can go from this today...

From the archives... Ride the Auburn Road on October 3, 1965

On Sunday, October 3, 1965, the Rochester & Buffalo Chapters of the National Railway Historical Society ran an Autumn Leaf Special with a portion of the ride on the then freight only New York Central 'Auburn Road'.   The trip started in Buffalo with the route being the New York Central main to Lyons with stops in Batavia & Rochester then the Fall Brook to Geneva then the Auburn Road to Syracuse and then the main line all the way back from Syracuse to Buffalo.   Cost for this all day excursion?   $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for kids!

Thanks for looking.  For those who may not know, the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum was originally founded in 1937 as the Rochester Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society.   In 2011, the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum decided to leave the NRHS; officially changing its name and becoming an independent railroad museum.
