Not only do the trains run down the middle of the road, they make a delivery into the FX Matt Brewery with a locomotive and a hopper car.
I think this is a rare thing, but hell, I'm often wrong.
A train engine going INTO a business, and using city streets for connecting and shunting rail cars so it can pick up or drop off cargo to a company?
Wow.
This happens to be a brewery that makes Utica Club, McKenzies Hard Ciders, and soft drinks,
This seems to be the F.X. Matt Brewery in Saranac ( that city name I recall from a post about 4 years ago about John Hawkinson https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/11/john-hawkinson-died-without-selling-his.html )
The line in the street is a former secondary mainline of the DL&W and goes from Utica to Binghamton. The brewery makes many different brands of beer and has been in operation a very long time.
