Is that washout just north of the village line?

What RR's interchanged at Phelps Junction? Back in that day at least...

Nobody. The PRR crossed the NYC Auburn Branch. While today Finger Lakes has a customer on the former PRR there, it's reached through what had been a customer siding for another concern, I don't believe it was ever an active interchange track. The connection is a little rough, it was probably done when PC abandoned Seneca Castle-Newark.
