try going to mapquest.com,
put in "notown" and "vt"; when it comes up, click "big map", and then scroll
south from there to Massachusetts, looking at the towns and places in
Windsor and Windham Counties VT, to see if anything strikes your eye as
similar to "Wynamick".

Mapquest does a pretty good job of showing arcane and unique "places" that
are only known to the locals and the railroad.  You can also zoom in and see
a smaller area in more detail, for names of creek branches, etc.

There is a Wymans Falls in Windsor, and Windham and Windmill Mountain in
Windham [from looking at GNIS using w% for each county]

    There was also a reference to what appears to be a town or settlement;
it is an old hand-written document, but seems to read " Wynamick"




     Does this ring a bell with anyone?
