A new presentation brings back the unique story of the Rochester Subway—from an abandoned canal bed to an abandoned rapid transit line in just thirty years.
The show is free with admission and covers the construction, operation and decline of the Subway. Area residents and history enthusiasts will enjoy seeing this new show that further describes Rochester's brief flirtation with rapid transit.
Trolley rides are included in the family-friendly admission of $8 adults, $7 seniors (65+) and $6 youths (age 3 – 12).
The museum is packed with an extensive collection of trolleys, a steam locomotive, horse-drawn buggies, and highway vehicles, including the Midtown Plaza Monorail. Visitors of all ages will thrill to several miniature trains in operation on a super-size model railroad!
No reservations are needed
The New York Museum of Transportation is open Sundays only, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and group tours during the week can be arranged by appointment. The museum is located at 6393 East River Road, just 20 minutes from downtown Rochester and easily reached from Exit 11 off I-390.
