Industry, New York

Industry is located on the Mount Morris Branch of the Erie Railroad. The name was changed from Oatka to Industry about 1908 when the New York State Agricultural School was established about 1908. The new depot was built about that time and the old depot became a freight house.

The depot still stands and is currently part of the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum, a project of the Rochester Chapter, NRHS
