Michael Diana, Education and Programs Manager of the Schenectady County Historical Society, returns for a Local History Night event, "Hauling the World". Schenectady has a vibrant industrial history much of which was driven by railroads. From humble steam-powered beginnings to dynamic diesel-powered titans, locomotives were once the pride of our area. We'll discuss the meteoric rise of ALCo, its shocking and sudden decline as well as its enduring legacy in our city. Together we’ll learn how Schenectady became “the City that Hauls the World.”
