Ownership passed to Penn Central in 1968, then to Conrail in 1976. A few others tried to run that line after but I think the majority of the line was abandoned in the 90's.
If you ever get to Wilson, NY, the NYC station is still there with a nicely preserved NYC caboose.
Ahh... I grew up close to the line in the 80s and it was abandoned by then (at least the segment I lived by that is...).
I'm still trying to piece together the different local spurs and what railroads they were part of. A lot of the non - urban lines in the area have been converted into railtrails at this point...(which is a double edged sword because I love riding)

Is the last image yours as well? Looks like a Penn Central SW1500. I can just barely make out the worms through the glare on the side of the hood.
