Maple sap is already being tapped for production of maple syrup. Video also features appearances by NYS&W Conductor Ethan and my trusty canine companion, Witold.

    Thanks for sharing another adventure at Door 18 of the brewery. On this video I noticed how close the vertical clearances are besides those on the sides. Watch out for any new low hanging lights or equipment! Cheers from Wisconsin and "Hi" to Witold! Our Chihuahua Peanut is on my lap as I type this.

      This is a great prototype example that model railroaders can use that is 100% plausible. Modellers can also use this as a way to disguise the fact that the cars could be going into a hidden track or yard just beyond the interior of the loading/unloading bay.

    I just found your site when I noticed Utica, NY. I grew up in Wampsville, NY about 150 yards north of the old main line New York Central (PennCentral) before the line was relocated further north in the last 60's to eliminate grade crossing. I have lived in the south for the last 30 years but your videos do remind me of days working in Central New York going in and out of Utica to pick up materials. Makes me a little home sick but not bad enough to ever move back to lousy weather and high taxes. Please keep posting CNY railroading videos.

      @@railroadingrambler218 You probably know this but "December 5th, 1933, will forever be marked as the day prohibition was repealed. West End Brewing Co. was the first brewery in the country to have a license, and the first to legally sell beer.
      There was a big parade that started at the brewery and ended at the Hotel Utica where people enjoyed pints of the first legal beer to be poured in the country, Utica Club."

      Yes, I recall reading about that but forgot some of the details; thanks for posting that info. My great grandfather was a saloon keeper in West Utica who operated his business both before and during Prohibition; he was arrested by the Feds but managed to post a very high bail within hours. He was not only selling booze when it was illegal to do so but his offerings contained just a wee bit of wood alcohol, lol. I only found out about this long after my paternal grandfather, son of my bootlegging great grandfather, and my father passed away.

    Always a treat to watch them switch here and I didn't know they went that deeply into the building. It's hard to tell where these loads originate as the cars are leasers. GBRX is Greenbrier Leasing and GPLX is GATX Inc and they usually use those cars to haul plastic pellets. Too bad you can't see the former CNW yellow or WC cream with red lettering and herald carrying malt as they have been repainted. Glad to see Witold moving under his own power

Also Anheuser-Busch sold off the Manitowoc WI plant maybe 10 years ago and sounds like they're down to a plant in Idaho. The Manitowoc facility is now just a grain storage facility
