This roundtable discussion is based on their new book A Year of Demonstrations, A Half Century of Service - ALCO's DL-460 Locomotive. This book looks back on almost a half century history of a locomotive design that saw the sale of only twenty-six units, but led to several of ALCO's most successful designs in their Century Series that can still be seen in use today. Mr. Steinbrenner is also the author of The American Locomotive Company: A Centennial Remembrance, which is currently in its second printing. Mr. Steinbrenner, Mr. McDermott, and Mr. Sylvester will all be available to sign copies of A Year of Demonstrations which will be on sale before and after the program. Before the program, visitors are welcomed to visit "Hauling the World": ALCO and Schenectady an exhibit curated by Mr. Matthew Zembo and edited by Richard Steinbrenner. The Schenectady County Historical Society is a private not-for-profit organization whose mission focuses on preserving, conserving, and interpreting Schenectady County's history for both visitors to Schenectady County as well as local residents of Schenectady County.
