Re: (LVRR) Freeville NY 1960-1977

I have all the photos I need of the station itself - I'm looking for late
era photos (post-1960) showing the general area, the article only includes
one so you can see where the water tank was located.   I need to be able to
place things better in relation to today, and see if any other buildings
have vanished in the meantime.
