It may not look like much, but this car is the only surviving passenger car from the "other" New York subway.  Built for New York State Railways' Utica city lines by Cincinnati in 1916, car #60 was later transferred to the Rochester Transit Corp for service in the Rochester Subway.  It ran until the subway was abandoned in 1956, when it was sold to the local NRHS chapter.  Stored at various locations for 45 years, it suffered extensive rust and corrosion, but remained complete and intact.  It is now at the Rochester & Genessee Valley Railroad Museum, where work is being done to evaluate and stabilize the car's condition.
