This article from Electric Railway Journal, February 10, 1917, describes in detail the design and construction of the fleet of cars put in service on the Utica Lines in 1916, which were later reassigned to the Rochester Subway in 1938.
Built in the bed of the old Erie Canal, the Rochester Subway faithfully served the city from 1927 through 1956.
Remains of the Rochester Subway are quickly disappearing! Join us for a special bus tour on July 14 that will trace the route of the Rochester Subway and visit key historic sites along the way.
