My son's college graduation is fast approaching. He will be graduating in 2024 from Penn State with a BS in Railroad Transportation Engineering.

It occurred to me that my ability to do things with him will be limited after graduation. You lose the "breaks" in the real world outside of school. I also had a ton of vacation time to kill before the end of the year.

My HO layout is based on the original Genesee & Wyoming in Western NY. I attended (and graduated from) the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1991. During that time, I came to appreciate the G&W so I based my layout on it.

My son had never seen the inspiration behind the layout, so the days before Thanksgiving 2023 would give the chance to expose him to railfanning in Western NY and the G&W.

Our first night in Rochester (Henrietta) was spent going to dinner with my two friends (and their wives) from my time with the Henrietta Fire District. We've stayed in touch all these years and enjoyed food and Gensee Beer at the Genesee Brew House.

Industry, NY. You would expect this to be hub of factories from the industrial age. Not so. It is the "home" of the New York State Industry Residential Center. A juvenile correctional facility that teaches vocations in the construction trades.

But that's not why we stopped here. industry is also the home of the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. They have amassed quite the collection of all things rail from Western NY.

This is an overall shot of the lower yard adjacent to the former Erie station Lakeville. The star of the show for my son is the LV 211.
