NYS&W 3040
Title:  NYS&W 3040
Description:  At 11:33 they cross Clinton Street again on way back to the Utica-Sangerfield line, but first they'll set-out a box car for McCraith Beverages. Coincidentally I just discovered that McCraith distributes a beer named Switchback Ale! That's something that this railfan is gonna have to find and give it a try!

Title:  NYS&W 3040
Description:  At 11:51 they've just crossed Chenango Road and are heading back to the rest of their train. The line to the left goes over to New Hartford, but it does'nt look like they've been over there in a long time.
