The New York Museum of Transportation presents a movie documenting the days of freight car building in East Rochester.  The presentation is at 1:00 p.m., Sunday, February 7, 2016 and is free with admission of $5 adults and $4 age 3 – 12.

An enormous manufacturing complex in East Rochester once produced railroad freight cars for Merchants Despatch Transport and the New York Central Railroad. This period film presented on video captures the wide scope of operations as mammoth freight cars were constructed for service throughout the nation.

Open Sundays only (winter hours 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), the New York Museum of Transportation features an array of full-size trolley cars, a steam locomotive, antique highway and horse-drawn vehicles, a large model railroad, and gift shop. The museum is located at 6393 East River Road, W. Henrietta, NY, just 20 minutes from downtown Rochester and easily reached from Exit 11 off I-390. In the summer season, museum visits include the only electric trolley ride in New York State.
