- Schenectady Locomotive Works
The Schenectady Locomotive Works built railroad locomotives from the mid 19th century through its merger into ALCO in 1901.
After the 1901 merger, ALCO made the Schenectady plant its headquarters in Schenectady, New York.
One of the better-known locomotives to come out of the Schenectady shops was Central Pacific Railroad type 4-4-0 No. 60, the "Jupiter" (built in early 1869), one of two steam locomotives to take part in the "Golden Spike Ceremony" to celebrate the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad.
