One way for families to enjoy the colors of an upstate autumn is from the windows of a vintage electric trolley car at the New York Museum of Transportation in Rush.
Rides operate Sundays only, September 23 through October 28. No reservations are required as departures are every half-hour throughout the day and are included free with admission to the museum. Museum hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the last trolley departure is at 4 p.m.
While the rides are a highlight for visitors, large model railroads, numerous full-size trolley cars, a steam locomotive, antique trucks and cars, horse-drawn vehicles, and smaller artifacts provide a rich, hands-on experience that appeals to kids and older folks alike.
The New York Museum of Transportation is located 20 minutes south of Rochester at 6393 East River Road. Admission for the entire experience is $8 adults, $7 seniors over 65, and $6 youths age 3 through 12. For information, visit www.nymtmuseum.org or call 533-1113.
