The Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad in conjunction with the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum will operate a series of fall foliage trips in western New York on what is usually freight-only trackage on former Erie Railroad tracks.
The trips will run on Oct. 18 and depart from Lakeville, N.Y., at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The station is the parking of the Conesus Lake Sportsmen’s club.
The trains will be pulled by Alco diesel locomotives owned by the railroad and will operate between Lakeville and Industry.
The rolling stock will be refurbished Budd stainless steel coaches built for New York Central’s Empire State Express in 1941.
Currently, volunteers are working to prepare the coaches, which are stored on a siding alongside the museum property and the LA&L main line, for use in October.
Tickets for the Fall Foliage can be purchased at Wegmans supermarket service counters.
“We’re really looking forward to operating these trips, and we are very grateful to the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville for their cooperation,” said museum President Mike Dow. “Our volunteers have been working round the clock, and we can’t wait to welcome the public aboard once again.”
