THE END OF THE LINE: ROCHESTER'S SUBWAY 2.0, an award-winning documentary originally produced in 1994, tells the little-known story of the rail line that operated in a former section of the Erie Canal from 1927 until its abandonment in 1956. Produced by filmmakers Fredrick Armstrong and James P. Harte, the documentary recounts the tale of an American city’s bumpy ride through the Twentieth Century, from the perspective of a little engine that could, but didn’t. A fan-favorite for many years, this film has aired on WXXI and the History Channel.

But something new has been in the works over the last 5 years… a complete digital restoration in HD from the ground up. The original team from Animatus Studio has reunited to bring this story into the 21st Century with Michael Champlin of DeBergerac Productions. The entire program has been remastered with enhanced audio, restored footage, and newly recreated graphics.

In this updated version, the filmmakers return to the abandoned subway tunnel, as well as visiting the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. The resulting film covers what has changed since 1994 and reflects on why the subway still holds so much interest today.
