Ride the Auburn Road on October 3, 1965

On Sunday, October 3, 1965, the Rochester & Buffalo Chapters of the National Railway Historical Society ran an Autumn Leaf Special with a portion of the ride on the then freight only New York Central 'Auburn Road'.   The trip started in Buffalo with the route being the New York Central main to Lyons with stops in Batavia & Rochester then the Fall Brook to Geneva then the Auburn Road to Syracuse and then the main line all the way back from Syracuse to Buffalo.   Cost for this all day excursion?   $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for kids!

This flier was originally posted to our blog a few months back, yet we didn't receive any new info.   We would still like to hear from anyone that rode this trip.   Have any recollections to share?   What was the consist?  Any pictures to share?   Please contact us.

Thanks for looking.   And more to come... From the archives of the Rochester Chapter NRHS...
