In August of 1938, only a few short months after Russ Shapley (with the assistance of John M. Prophet III) founded the Railroad Enthusiasts of Buffalo, the club took a regular PRR passenger train to Arcade, NY. This video contains footage of that trip. The Railroad Enthusiasts would eventually change their name to the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society and continue to enjoy and preserve the railroad legacy of Buffalo and Western New York... something they continue to do to this day.
