There is still a large Conrail freight yard/maintenance shop in Selkirk,
and I'm not sure if there was a NYC shop there in the past ... I'll hafta'
ask around : ) I know there was a big D&H maintenance facillity in Albany,
just about 10 miles north of Selkirk, though. There *IS* a lot of railroad
history in and around the Albany-Schenectady-Troy area. The old ALCO plant
is in Schenectady.
