The Pennsylvania Railroad's Rochester Branch ran through some of the most picturesque scenery in New York State, including Letchworth State Park, as wound its way between Rochester, NY and Olean, NY. Built on the abandoned towpath of the old Genesee Valley Canal, the Rochester Branch served dozens of small communities in this part of New York until regular passenger service was stopped in 1941. Freight service continued until the line was completely abandoned in 1963. The Niagara Frontier Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society chartered a special excursion on the Pennsy's Rochester Branch in October of 1952. John Prophet recorded a portion of the trip between Mount Morris, NY, and Letchworth State Park and we'll ride along with him in this episode of Living With Steam.
