Powerful diesel locomotives are the backbone of the modern railroad industry. From humble yard switchers to high-horsepower road engines, these locomotives have ruled the rails since their widespread introduction the 1940s. Don’t miss your opportunity to climb aboard these kings of the rails during Diesel Days at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum on September 15 and 16.

All Aboard the Fall Foliage Express - A Rare-Mileage Trip on the LA&L Presented by R&GVRRM!

The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum will be operating a series of Fall Foliage Excursions with the cooperation of the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad between Lakeville and Industry, New York. Ride in the museum’s reconditioned Budd streamlined coaches built in 1941 for the New York Central’s “Empire State Express” hauled by vintage Alco Century diesel locomotives provided by the LA&L. This is your opportunity to take a “rare mileage” trip over the rails of the freight-only LA&L and enjoy a fun fall foliage tour by train.

Trains will depart from the Conesus Lake Sportsman’s Club in Lakeville. Enjoy a 20 mile round trip through the beautiful Genesee Valley country between Lakeville and Industry. Plenty of free parking at Lakeville. All trains run as round trip with no intermediate stops. Refreshments and restrooms are available at Lakeville and on board the train.

We're raising $1500 to complete the lettering on LV 95100. Help us bring this project over the finish line:
