These kings of the rails come in all sizes, and the collection at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum gives visitors a close-up look. Learn what makes a diesel go. See several different diesel locomotives under power, and take a ride on them! Extended hours and Special Event admission prices apply.

Actually Otto, 211 wasn't running. Supposedly there is a block in the currculation of water, or the water pumps are done in. 1843, and 1654 were used.


Edit:
Apparently, I stand Corrected. After I left yesterday, I guess some of the guys got 211 up and running for a night photo ops session with the Rochester Chapter. And I wasn't there to see it. Gosh that makes me furious. >:|

Actually, LV 211 ran for part of the Diesel Days weekend. We thought it was a water pump issue, but it turns out that wasn't the case. We have returned 211 to service, and she'll see a few more runs before the season ends in November.

BAH! Wow. I guess thats what i get for not knowing. It was kind-of heartwarming when I had some visitor at the museum on diesel days ask enthusiastically if i was going to fire 211 up.
