A trip from the past - October 3, 1965

The Rochester Chapter NRHS has a very long heritage of operating railroad excursions, and many of those excursions took place during the fall.    As we look into the Chapter's archives again, we find a flyer advertising one of those trips which was to take place on October 3, 1965 on the New York Central.    Like so many trips of the past, this one was co-sponsored by the Rochester and Buffalo NRHS Chapters.  

Billed as the "Annual Russell H. Shapley Memorial Trip", this all New York Central routing  including the NYC main, Fall Brook line, and Auburn Road.   And all of that for $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children!   Plus you could choose to ride in an open gondola on the freight lines only.

This is all we have in the archives from this trip.   Did you ride this trip?   Have anything you would be willing to share with us?  Recollections... Photographs... Souvenirs...    Please contact us.   We are very interested in continuing to grow our knowledge about the history of the Rochester Chapter National Railway Historical Society.
