Kodak Park Railroad photo exhibit

The Kodak Center is a massive building  that also hosts a performing arts center and is only a small fraction of the complex.
A few weeks ago I read a post on the D&H "Colonie Main" layout (link on sidebar) regarding a railroad exhibit called "The Power to Move Us" that is being displayed at the Kodak Photo Gallery in Rochester, NY, till the end of the month. Peter and I did a side-trip from I-90 into Rochester to the Amtrak station and Kodak Gallery and Museum. We would have loved to get a Kodachrome sweatshirt but the gift shop was closed the day we visited...maybe another trip? Be forewarn, it is nice to see but maybe not a location to base a whole trip on. They do have tours of the plant on occasions...George Dutka

Some large side negatives are viewed in display cases.


A model railroad display is also included.
I had not realized how many engines were used over the years in the Kodak complex.
The rail system was extensive. About 24 miles of main track and many sidings and yards.
Next door to the railroad display is the Kodak museum. This is just a teaser view, best to visit in person.
