On April 10, 1943, a ceremony was held in Schenectady by American and British officials honoring ALCO’s war effort, which included building tanks like this M4. In the background is the Hotel Van Curler, now Schenectady County Community College.
Former American Locomotive employees are being invited by the ALCO Heritage Museum to share their memories of the plant that for more than 100 years dominated the city landscape along Maxon Road. Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon at Niskayuna High School, oral histories will be collected and later deposited with the ALCO Heritage Museum on Maxon Road Extension.
