Description | nymtmuseum.org 2/2024: A scenic 2 - mile Trolley round trip ride brings back the interurban era of a century ago. The museum closes at 4:00 so remember to arrive early enough to enjoy the full museum experience. A full calendar of special events offer unique ways to celebrate rail history and favorite holidays. The New York Museum of Transportation houses fourteen full size trolley cars, a caboose, steam locomotive, antique highway and horse-drawn vehicles, and the various associated smaller items that illuminate our transportation history. A 11' x 21' HO-gauge model railroad operates five trains and two trolleys at one time. Pump-type handcars, track inspection velocipede, signs, baggage carts, diesel engine cutaways, cap badges, track tools and lots of other artifacts complement the many photo exhibits and interpretive displays. The Gallery features a rare color film of the Rochester Subway. A big hit with visitors is the trolley car from the Spaghetti Warehouse Restaurant, open for display. The visitor Center contains a display of "O" gauge models of trolley cars that once served the area, and the exquisite modules by Donovan Shilling recreate moments in time from the turn of the last century. Visitors can also relive holiday memories with an exhibit of the Midtown Plaza Monorail. A private rail line built by volunteers connects NYMT with the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum, |
