(erielack) Swain or Swains?

Does anybody know why this town in NY, which goes by the name of Swain 
with respect to marketing its economic livelyhood (the ski slopes) and
is similarly identified on most topographic maps and by NYSDOT road 
signs as Swain, but has long been identified as Swains by the railroad?
I have seen this reference under both EL and later Conrail.

Anyone ever been up on those ski slopes who can speak on the view of
the mainline, either from up top or during the descent?
