Absolutely fascinating video. Mesmerizing. Someone obviously put a lot of effort into it. The captions really make it. Didn't mind the sound, either! Now, can we convince them to do the Peanut? LV? One can only hope ...
I've compared your videos of NYS&W operations with the above, with Google Maps, and with my 1947 topo map and this is what I infer:
At the 20:05 mark, that's the DL&W going from "left" to "right" with a switch to the West Shore.
At the 20:27 mark, that's the Black Cat Bar & Grille with a number of suspiciously "Bill the Cat" like silhouettes. Good place to watch trains, I presume, although you might have to wait a while ...
At the 21:05 mark, that's the NYO&W heading off to the left, and lastly ...
At the 21:21 mark, that's the lead off to New York Mills.
How'd I do?
Question: my topo maps do not show a RR associated with the lead to NY Mills. Who originally owned/operated it?
Thanks for sharing the video!
