I have heard of an "Alco" automobile. Realizing that is was a very early example of automobile production, and not very long lived, it is particularly interesting in view of the RR industry and the dominance of Alco as a long time locomotive builder. Question: Was the Alco automobile produced in Schenectady, as were their locomotives? Just when was the last Alco automobile produced?
Just as in "The men who built America" these old timers really had an influence on the development of this country in the early years of the 20th century.
