Going There, Doing That!

Dive into the hidden industrial history of Dunkirk, New York (The Industrial City You’ve Never Heard Of ...). For over more than a century, this small Lake Erie town helped build America through rail-to-water transfer, heavy locomotive manufacturing, steel production, glass bottle making, and essential supply chains that stretched across the country.
From the 1851 western terminus of the Erie Railroad and the massive Brooks/ALCO Locomotive Works to Universal-Cyclops Steel, Thatcher Glass, Marsh Valve, Plymouth Tube, Fieldbrook Foods, and the Nestlé Purina plant, we explore the physical footprints, factories, neighborhoods, and enduring legacy of a classic Rust Belt industrial city.
