The New York Museum of Transportation is happy to announce that their popular trolley rides are resuming as of Sunday, July 22, .
The scenic two-mile round-trip ride is included in the price of admission ($8 adults, $7 seniors 65+, $6 youths age 3 – 12). The museum’s vintage trolley cars provide a unique recreation of the interurban trolley era of a century ago, the only such experience in all of New York State.
Museum hours are Sundays only, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the rides operate every 30 minutes throughout the day. Visitors should plan to arrive well before 3 p.m. to have time to see and do everything the museum has to offer.
The museum’s huge model railroad is a thrill to see in operation, and visitors can also enjoy several trolley cars, a steam locomotive, model railroad, fire truck, horse drawn vehicles, and much more. Artwork on the walls of the gallery depicts scenes on the Rochester Subway, while a 12-minute video of that well-remembered trolley line plays on the wide screen TV.
The New York Museum of Transportation is conveniently located 20 minutes south of Rochester at 6393 East River Road (Thruway Exit 46, I-390 south to exit 11, NY Rt. 21 West, then one mile north on East River Road). Call 533-1113 or visit www.nymtmuseum.org for information.
