Locomotive Engineer’s House at Fort Hancock, Gateway National Recreation Area
FORT HANCOCK WALKING TOUR
Tour Stop 19: Locomotive Engineer’s House
Building Number 108
Construction Date: 1900
An extensive railroad system ran through Fort Hancock when the base was in operation. This is how supplies and heavy equipment were moved from the dock to various locations around the fort. So that he was always nearby, the senior railroad engineer was given his own house on the base. Today it is a residence for National Park Service staff.
