Tracks to the Past: Albany History Day at D&H Plaza

Perhaps the most recognizable building in Albany, the H. Carl McCall SUNY Building is still known by many as the D&H Building, as it was constructed as the headquarters for the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Company in 1914. At this special event, Rudy Garbely, author of Delaware & Hudson: The Final Years, 1968 to 1991, is celebrating the release of this new comprehensive book by bringing together retired managers and employees of the railroad.
