Schenectady
is a city rich in history and accomplishment.
It was here where Thomas
Edison founded what would become the General Electric
Company, where George Westinghouse invented the rotary
engine and air brakes, where the American Locomotive Works
once made virtually every steam and diesel locomotive to
pull passengers and move freight across our country, and
where New York State’s first historic district, the
Stockade, was named.
