If you really want to see lots of trains I would suggest going over the border to Canada and seek out the CN mainline through Cornwall or in that area. You will probably see more trains in two hours there than in Massena all day. You will need a passport for the border but it will be worth it.

NW (and Everyone:)
There ARE other travel documents acceptable to cross the border between the US and Canada:
A New York State or Ontario Provincial Enhanced Drivers License (EDL) for examples are just as valid as a passport for LAND crossings between the US and Canada...
A passport is only absolutely required if one FLIES between the US and Canada. Nothing less will be accepted in those cases.
US and Canada passports are as "good as it gets" when it comes down to the best border crossing documents - no dispute there...
I agree with the thought about Cornwall, Ontario is that it is close by and worth a visit to the CN/VIA and CP main lines. Take advantage of the good US Dollar exchange rate in Canada if you can...
