Nice, Harrison!  Thanks for posting!

There's a thread over on the "Classic Trains" Forum called "Erie Canal-Clinchfield Boxcar" you may want to have a look at, being an up-state New Yorker.  Kind of a mystery location, maybe YOU can tell us where it is?

I took a look at that image.  Judging by the shadows, it was taken from the north side of the canal, and it looks like the river is behind it.  I couldn't find a spot that looked like that on the satellite images, though.
