The New York Museum of Transportation invites visitors on Sunday, September 17, for a gathering of antique fire trucks as well as a unique trolley ride experience, all in celebration of the beautiful autumn season in upstate New York.
Fall Foliage Trolley Rides continue every Sunday through November 5 featuring a 90-year-old electric trolley car. The scenic two-mile round trip through open countryside is on the only electric trolley operation in New York State. Rides operate throughout each Sunday departing every 30 minutes beginning at 11:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
On September 17, the Genesee Chapter of the Society for
the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motorized Fire Apparatus in America (SPAAMFAA) will have their restored firefighting equipment on display for visitors to enjoy. Discover the difference between a “fire truck” and a “fire engine,” find out why firemen wear red suspenders, and learn important lessons of fire safety. The Honeoye Falls Fire Department will be attending the display with its 1929 Buffalo.
The New York Museum of Transportation is packed with an extensive collection of trolleys, a steam locomotive, horse-drawn buggies, and highway vehicles. Visitors of all ages will thrill to several miniature trains in operation on a super-size model railroad! No reservations are needed, and all rides and the September 17 fire truck display are included in the admission price.
Admission is $8 adults; $7 seniors (65+); $6 youth (3-12). The New York Museum of Transportation is located at 6393 East River Road in West Henrietta. For more information, go to www.nymtmuseum.org or call (585) 533-1113.
