 >>>Wonderfully interesting thread (as most of them are) and I want to 
add a comment or two.  Having graduated from Cornell in 1969, I spent my 
three years there (transferred there after four years at "other" 
colleges) using the weekends to traipse througout the country side 
photographing anything and everything rail (traction, also) that was 
still extant.  Syracuse was a mecca, though I didn't get any decent 
shots of either station.  There was, as some of you know, a traction 
station in Syra, also.  Does anybody know where it was and if the 
building still exists? (That whole area of central NY was laden--even 
then--with station buildings and other rail facilities, including some 
of the O & W's still in place, photos of many of which I did take.)
