Checking the timeline of an accepted answer of mine, I can't see the accept vote for my answer.
As per https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/271754, it should be available:
The accept vote is available on the accepted answer's timeline.
This feature request also confirms that is has been available at some point.
Sadly I couldn't find a screenshot of an accepted vote in the timeline after the timeline was changed some years ago.
It's true that the answer from your example doesn't show in the timeline that it was accepted:
Instead the accept is shown in the timeline of the question, with a tickmark next to the chosen answer:
This is useful when there are multiple answers, some before and some after the accepted answer; such as in this question:
Votes (which includes accepting and unaccepting) are always aggregated in the timeline, a higher level of detail isn't available to users; even though it's obvious that the voter was almost certainly the one who asked the question (moderators and staff can change the acceptance, in rare circumstances).
A request for details: "New timeline view only shows last accept vote, no un-accepts" has already been filled on Jan 13 '16 at 14:43.
