I thought I'd start a thread with some tidbits of Rochester area railroad history, on a given date. It won't be every day, just random as my notes, scrapbook or whatever shows something worth noting. And no claim of being comprehensive - I may note something from 1990 while not being aware of something from 1960. No reason why others can't post something as well, I won't "own" the thread exclusively.
December 13, 1980. Ontario Midland Railroad operated their first annual Santa train rides, sponsored by the Sodus Chamber of Commerce. Rides were free, and were planned to run hourly to Wallington and back. Demand was so great trips ran as soon as the cars could be reloaded and by day's end 1,097 riders had been carried.
