	Ellis Hospital Schenectady New York History
		Just imagine if John Ellis, founder of the Schenectady Locomotive Works and for whom Ellis Hospital is named, and members of his family, such as George G. Ellis, whose $25,000 bequest helped build the hospital in memory of his father, could see what the hospital has become over the last 118 years.
		The capabilities and speed of the hospital's new CT scanner, linear accelerator, or digital mammography system, the precision and skill of a cardiac surgeon at work, the fast track emergency care a stroke patient receives and the sheer size of the Nott Street hospital would be mind-boggling to these men of a bygone era.
		Throughout Schenectady's maturation from a small canal town, to a railroad center and then into an industrial city, Ellis Hospital has been the community's trusted source for health care; and today, Ellis extends its reach beyond the city and into a much wider region, serving patients from surrounding counties and even surrounding states.

		Unfortunately, the locomotive, tender, and accompanying rails is now long gone, but the 10' by 50' concrete pad which supported the locomotive and tender is still in place.
		The locomotive was removed from the park in January 1988, in an undaunted, lack of public attention kind of way.
		Considering that the locomotive had sat unguarded and unprotected for so many years, I felt that we were very lucky that the brass plate had stayed in the proper hands, as had many other fixtures.
