Bush Terminal. Women laborers seated on front of engine in railroad yard, 1918. From 1910 to 1919 approximately 23.4 percent of women were working. During World War I, women started working jobs that were traditionally filled by men. These jobs included police officers, mechanics and truck drivers. Bush Terminal, now known as Industry City, is a historic intermodal shipping, warehousing, and manufacturing complex on the waterfront in the Greenwood Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. Bush Terminal was the first facility of its kind in New York and the largest multi-tenant industrial property in the United States. The US Navy first commandeered the piers and warehouses of the Bush Terminal Co. on Deember 31, 1917 and tied its rail lines into those of the Bush Terminal in 1918.
