Re: (erielack) Holiday Armchair Model Railroading

From various sources, here's what I've come up with as to industries in the 
towns mentioned:

Owego, NY:
    -- Ward & Van Scoy Feed and Lime Service grain elevator (on Erie RR)
    -- Owego foundry (on Erie or LV?)
    -- Stakmore Chair factory on Elm Street: rec'd or shipped w boxcars
    -- Liberty St. spur track serving lumberyard (Erie) [same as below?]
    -- lumber yard on Central Avenue [same as above?]
    -- Agway

Johnson City, NY:
    -- Endicott-Johnson shoe factory(-ies?) 
    -- NYSEG Power Plant (did this exist in 1954? different name?)
    -- Fair Play Caramels, made candy

Vestal, NY:
    -- Vestal Lumber
    -- a coal distributor across the road, closer to the depot site
    -- Mirabito Oil, on Old Vestal Rd just (compass) east of where it crosses 
under the DLW towards Binghamton (near the Town Square Mall)
    -- Vestal Asphalt, which handles various types of aggregates besides 
making asphalt 
    --National Pipe and Plastic, railroad east of Vestal Asphalt, facing out 
on both Old Vestal Rd and Commerce Rd: rail service in the form of loads of 
plastic pellets

Does anyone else have any other additions or corrections, or other 
information about these industries?  I would also be interested as to where 
these industries received shipments from on the railroads, and also where 
they shipped products on the railroads.

Thanks, and Happy New Year.
