General Motors is a former Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station and streetcar carhouse located next to the Rochester Products Division in Rochester, New York, United States. It opened in 1937 as a one-stop extension from the former terminus at Driving Park,[1] and was closed in 1956 along with the rest of the line.[2] The maintenance buildings still stand.
