Night Photo Session at the New York Museum of Transportation




As part of the Rochester Chapter's July membership meeting, a night photo session was held for all interested participants at the New York Museum of Transportation featuring their former Philadelphia & Western 'Strafford' cars. Several setups were done both at the NYMT's carbarn and along the electrified portion of the joint NYMT/Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum demonstration railroad. Another night photo session featuring both the trolleys and diesels from the R&GVRRM's collection is planned for the August Rochester Chapter NRHS membership meeting. All interested photographers are welcome. Please see our Events section for more details. Photos & lighting by Christopher R. Hauf.
