10/28/2007 - Rochester Chapter receives NRHS Railway Heritage Grant
The Rochester Chapter NRHS and its Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum has received a 2007 National Railway Historical Society National Railway Heritage Grant the in the amount of $1800.00 to provide funding for four of the eight new replacement locomotive starting batteries needed for Lehigh Valley Railroad ALCO RS-3m #211. The NRHS Heritage grants are matching grants, therefore the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum needs your help to raise the funds for the other four to make a complete set of eight. This now-one-of-kind "Hammerhead" RS-3m is operational, but currently can not start itself. New batteries will allow the engine to be started and operated with ease on the museum's demonstration railroad. The museum wants to raise the funds to do this by April 2008 so the batteries can be purchased and installed for museum's 2008 operating season.
