I'm doing a youtube about Amtrak, and for part of it I want to relate the classic parable explaining the tyranny of small decisions -- the Ithaca railroad. I've been having a little bit of trouble researching the actual last days of trains to Ithaca NY, though. (I feel like it'd have more punch if I could actually talk about the specific train that left the station for the last time that day, y'know)
So far as I can tell the last train to Ithaca was the LV Maple Leaf on February 3, 1961 -- but what was this train like in its last days? What did the schedule look like? I understand the LV ran a handfull of local services after it discontinued the Maple Leaf -- did any of these go to Ithaca?
