"When Out On The Street There Arose Such A Clatter" NYSW Utica NY 

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.

Hey Jaw Tooth! Great to hear from you, always enjoyed your videos, they're epic!

I noticed that too. Only time I’ve seen something like that was on a streetcar line.

That's a long time! I just know one of my grandfathers was a taxi driver for 12 years.

That’s cool! he saw it go from all steam to all diesel

Good meeting you as well!

Let's hope he is not a train enthusiast - Greetings from UK

I called in just to see what condition my condition was in and Trackside therapy was recommended

*I'm telling your boss* - unless you post your photos.

Always good to hear from you! Glad you liked the video & the title!

@@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You probably know this but "December 5th, 1933, will forever be marked as the day prohibition was repealed.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.

Haha the Sunrail can't touch this.

They're nicknamed a Submarine Switch, because when it rains, the switch stand is underwater

And towns which have as mixed use main streets as this are so much more interesting than those afflicted by the curse of zoning laws

Stay safe, hope you make it over here someday

Lots of Ukrainians in Utica including old high school friend of mine

Thanks for commenting!

Most of the malt comes from the big 3: Cargill Malt in Spiritwood, ND; Rahr Malt in Shakopee, MN; or, Cargill Malt in Sheboygan, WI.

@@kentpitman5649 thanks for the input sadly the Froedtert malt plant here in West Milwaukee got demolished last year and that was the biggest rail customer in Milwaukee usually about 30 to 40 cars a day in and out combined. 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

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for commenting!
