#WeLiveHere - Rensselaer County, New York
Visit for more information -
Rensselaer is a city in Rensselaer County, New York, located along the Hudson River directly opposite Albany, New York. As of the 2010 U.S. census, the population was about 9,400 people. In the year 1920, it was about 10,840. The name is from Kiliaen van Rensselaer, the original landowner of the region in New Netherland. Rensselaer is on the west border of the county. Earliest settlement occurred as early as 1628. This town has a rich industrial history stretching back to the 19th century, when it became a major railroad junction. It is still important in railroading as the location of the 14th busiest AMTRAK station in the country. It was one of the earliest locations of the dye industry in the United States, and the first American location for the production of aspirin.
Troy is a city in the US State of New York and the seat of Rensselaer County. Troy is located on the western edge of Rensselaer County and on the eastern bank of the Hudson River. Troy has close ties to the nearby cities of Albany and Schenectady, forming a region popularly called the Capital District. The city is one of the three major centers for the Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which has a population of 850,957. At the 2010 census, the population of Troy was 50,129. Troy's motto is Ilium fuit, Troja est, which means Ilium was, Troy is.
Before European arrival, the area was settled by the Mahican Indian tribe. There were at least two settlements within today's city limits, Panhooseck and Paanpack. The Dutch began settling in the mid 17th century; the patroon Kiliaen van Rensselaer called the area Pafraets Dael, after his mother. Control of New York passed to the English in 1664 and in 1707 Derick Van der Heyden purchased a farm near today's downtown area. In 1771 Abraham Lansing had his farm in today's Lansingburgh laid out into lots. Responding to Lansing's success to the north, in 1787, Van der Heyden's grandson Jacob had his extensive holdings surveyed and laid out into lots as well, calling the new village Vanderheyden.
In 1789, Troy got its current name after a vote of the people. In 1791, Troy was incorporated as a town and extended east across the county to the Vermont line and included Petersburgh. In 1796 Troy became a village and in 1816 it became a city. Lansingburgh, to the north, was still a separate village, the first to have ever been incorporated in the State. Lansingburgh became part of Troy in 1900, though it maintained a very separate identity and still does to this day.
Troy is known as the Collar City due to its history in shirt, collar, and other textile production. At one point Troy was also the second largest producer of iron in the country, surpassed only by the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Rensselaer School, which later became Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, was founded in 1824 with funding from Stephen Van Rensselaer, a descendant of the founding patroon, Kiliaen. In 1821, Emma Willard founded the Troy Female Seminary on 2nd Street, which moved to its current location on Pawling Avenue in 1910. It was renamed Emma Willard School in 1895. The former Female Seminary was later reopened (1916) as Russell Sage College, thanks to funding from Olivia Slocum Sage, the widow of financier and Congressman Russell Sage. All of these institutions still exist today.
The city operates under a mayor-council government; Lou Rosamilia is the current mayor and Lynn Kopka is the council president.

Troy Union RR NYC, D&H, B&M
The final years of the Troy Union RR and Troy passenger station, seen through the lens of a worker (my former neighbor's father - R.I.P. Al). To find any pictures or film of the T.U.RR, or the NYC Troy and Schenectady branch is incredibly rare; and while I have seen a couple of film shots taken in Troy with steam, I can't find photos or film of the T&S branch from the steam era (specifically 1930s-desilization) to save my life. My father grew up on Manor Ave., Cohoes right next to the T&S, and as a kid would often get a ride home in the cab from High St.-Manor Ave. A large mikado (#1214...?) was assigned to this branch, and my father for most of his life would have sworn it was a Mohawk, and I would love to find a picture for him to enjoy and remember. Sadly, the only pictures I can find/print are from historian Steve Lackman from the very last years in Penn Central/D&H operation, which are a miracle and greatly appreciated; but if there is anyone out there who has anything steam related from the T&S, Green Island, Colonie/Watervliet, Menands, Albany, Cohoes, Waterford, and/or Troy, that hasn't already been in a Jim Shaughnessy book, if you could share, that would be amazing and greatly cherished. Thank you for watching. Sharing this is something I've been wanting to do, as again, this particular area is funny about shreding up 19th-20th Century history w/out regard to the historical appreciations of future generations, and w/out photographic/cinematographic records - especially with the railroads, as some changes that generally didn't occur until the late 60's nationwide were occuring throughout the 50's and early 60's here, and nobody gave a second thought that it was changing forever. Anyone with any info, pics, or video to share can get a hold of me at jimmyheebs420@aol.com. Thank you again.

A Quick Trip to Binghamton, NY - Chasing Amtrak 520 North
With a heads up that Amtrak would be running another cut of new baggage cars from Elmira to Rensselaer with a single geep, we decided to head to Binghamton for it. Upon arrival, I shot 253 passing 930 outlawed with the S&A heritage unit leading and 931 with a ATSF Warbonnet trailing. After a quick lunch we started the northbound chase of the Amtrak Special catching it a number of locations before losing light in Oneonta.
