About Hornell, New York
Hornell is a city of 8,259 people in Steuben County, about 55 miles south of Rochester. Benjamin Crosby's family settled here first, in 1790, when the place was called Upper Canisteo to tell it apart from Lower Canisteo, today's Canisteo. George Hornell Jr. built the first gristmill, so the town formed in 1820 took his name as Hornellsville. It became a village in 1852 and was chartered as the City of Hornellsville in 1888, and in 1906 it shortened its name to Hornell.
The New York and Erie Railroad reached Hornell in 1850 and opened to the public on May 14, 1851, when President Millard Fillmore and Secretary of State Daniel Webster rode the first train through. Because the city sat where the Erie's two main branches met, the company put its repair yards here, and for about a hundred years its steam engine shop fixed locomotives for the entire line. By 1950 the city had just over 15,000 people. After the Erie merged with the Lackawanna in October 1960, diesel engines needed far less work than steam, and many shop workers lost their jobs.
“There are an immense amount of side-tracks, ample engine-houses, repair-shops, and other railroad structures, as the village is the dividing-point of the Susquehanna and Western Divisions, and the point of junction of the Buffalo Division of the Erie Railway.”
- The Maple CityHornell's nickname comes from the big maple trees that once lined its streets and covered the hills of the Canisteo Valley around it. The city also throws one of the largest Saint Patrick's Day parades in the area, and crowds turn out in green to greet the spring.
- Floods of 1936 and 1972In 1936 a major flood put parts of the city under water, and Hornell answered by building a system of levees. In 1972 the floods of Hurricane Agnes wrecked about 200 miles of roadbed along the Canisteo River, ending any hope of running trains again southeast of Hornell, and the Erie Lackawanna went bankrupt soon afterward.
- The arterial that split the cityAbout 1972 the state replaced the old Route 36 along Seneca and Canisteo Streets with a four-lane arterial. It took down 245 houses and many businesses, cut the city in two and wiped out Union Park, the city's main park. Broadway and Seneca Street, once busy shopping streets, were left nearly empty.
- Trains still built hereThe old Erie shops sat closed for years before reopening to service diesels. Today they are Alstom's main North American plant, where car bodies shipped from São Paulo, Brazil, are put together. In 2020 the plant started building Amtrak's second generation Acela trains, and in January 2021 it won a $1.8 billion order for Metra passenger cars, expected to add 250 jobs.
