October Museum Meeting - Thursday, October 17, 2013

Did you know Rochester had its own rapid transit system from 1926-1956? In fact, our museum hasa very important part of the old Rochester Subway: Car 60, the last remaining trolley car from the Subway fleet. At our October meeting,  NYMT board member Charlie Lowe will be presenting a show about the old Rochester Subway, featuring many never seen before color slides and other information. Don't miss it!

The museum store opens at 7:00pm, a brief business meeting takes place at 7:30pm, and the program begins around 8:15pm. This is a FREE event. We meet at the 40 & 8 Club, 933 University Avenue, in Rochester, NY. Cash bar available.

Enjoy the beauty of Autumn in western New York State from the window of an authentic 80-year-old electric trolley car. Board at New York Museum of Transportation for your ride back in time. At Midway Station, a diesel train with two cabooses will meet the trolley each day for the continuation to the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum, where you will tour our restored Erie Railroad passenger station and see our many historic displays.
