Victor, NY Hosts Rail Rides ~ First time in over 10 years.

The Village of Victor, New York was once served by the Lehigh Valley Railroad over 100 years ago. Its premier passenger train, the Black Diamond, rumbled through town on a regular basis. Freight trains hauling coal and other goods, passed through. Today, those same tracks, while still in use, lay in wait for the next opportunity to haul passengers. 2201 Lehigh Valley: © David Halderman

It has been ten years, or more, since the Ontario Central Railroad, which operated on the 12 miles of track from Victor to Manchester / Shortsville, has run any passenger trains. This August 9 & 10, the Finger Lakes Railway will bring passenger coaches and a few locomotives to revisit the thriving village, and reintroduce its legacy.

While it won't be the Black Diamond, it will be a chance to relive the history. For more information on the trains rides in Victor, click here.
