The Rochester Subway stopped passenger service on June 30, 1956 and the museum commemorates the anniversary with a weekend of talks and slide presentations, demonstrations of the Subway’s fully restored “Casey Jones” speeder, food, and vendors.  Unlimited  rides on the museum railroad bring back memories of travel aboard electric trolley cars of the Subway era.  No reservations required.  Special event prices prevail.

The New York Museum of Transportation is open year ’round, Sundays only, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Group visits on weekdays can be made by appointment. Train rides are offered on the only electric trolley operation in New York State. In the museum a variety of trolleys, a steam locomotive, and road vehicles on display provide a unique hands-on learning experience for all ages. A large model railroad, gallery, and gift shop are also featured. The museum is located at 6393 East River Road, W. Henrietta, NY. For details: (585) 533-1113 or [email protected].
