   At one time many years ago, IBM generated a lot of traffic   
   at Endicott by its employees and customers.  But I'm not   
   sure if today IBM still has much of a presence in Endicott.   
   (Anyone know?)   
      
   In any event, it seems people prefer to drive or fly.  IBM   
   had a facility in Somers, NY, a few miles from the MNRR Golden   
   Bridge station.  Everyone there drove or flew despite the   
   convenient train.
