Just an update on our progress on the restoration of ex-Rochester Gas & Electric #1941 . For just over a month, we have been working inside the cab repainting it as all of the exterior paint work is done. Here the cab is seen nearly complete with the walls, ceiling and floors complete sans a lit...

Touchdown! Lehigh Valley caboose #95100 was mated back with its trucks at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum this morning, 10/29/2011. Now safe from the scrap yard and on the museum's property, work will shift to its restoration once it can be moved up to our shop in the coming weeks...

Scot, Thanks for the research. As the museum's painter, it is a real help, and we will hopefully get to start thinking about colors and lettering pretty soon. As an FYI to everyone, it looks from the image above that all we are able to get is the caboose body. It should be noted that we will also be...

I know people will see that car and worry that it can not be restored. Having personally done several restorations and all at the R&GVRRM, I can tell you we can restore it.

1907 seems to jive with my understanding as around 2007 I contributed photos of the preserved KPRR equipment at the R&GVRRM to an internally produced/distributed booklet to celebrate the KPRR's 100th anniversary. I was just thinking not so long ago that I never received my copy and probably neve...

Otto, It is not an impossibility and could be done authentically. Remember ex-Eastman Kodak Company #9 (nee Chicago & Western Indiana) at the R&GVRRM was owned by the G&W for less than a year before being resold to Kodak in 1971. They did actually repaint it orange on the G&W and the...
