Does anyone know when the B&O ceased passenger service to Rochester, NY ? I'm guessing 1953 or 1954, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Rochester Chapter NRHS offers a DVD of a 1950s film called "The Vanishing American" that documents a trip on the B&O Rochester Division from Rochester to Salamanca and back. The narration is cheesy, but the footage is pretty good. Shows a steam powered train with B&O "Royal Blue" liveried heavyweight equipment.
