THANK YOU FOR MAKING HISTORY WITH US! 🚋🍸🎥

Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated to, and supported the Rochester Subway Gala! Together, we raised more than $25,000 in support of the ongoing restoration of Rochester Subway Car 60.

It was a wonderful evening of cocktails, local history, and cinema at the George Eastman Museum and historic Dryden Theatre. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make the evening such a memorable success.

The celebration continues on Saturday, June 27, with Rochester Subway Day at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. Enjoy train rides, special exhibits, the RTS vintage bus, exclusive limited-edition Subway merchandise, and an up-close look at the restoration of Car 60.

Tickets are available now — reserve yours today and help us continue preserving Rochester’s transportation history! Visit www.RochesterTrainRides.com

Thanks to our friends at Regional Transit Service for getting their vintage transit bus ready for display at our Rochester Subway Gala at the George Eastman Museum on Sunday! This General Motors TDH 4012 transit bus was purchased by RTS in 2000 and restored to look like the buses that once served the city of Rochester after the Subway shut down in 1956. Look for it at the Gala on June 21, and at Subway Day Train Rides on June 27! Get your tickets now at www.RochesterTrainRides.com
