Does any of the shop complex still stand? I just googled earth'd Marion and there's still a lot of railroading there, but I can't tell where the EL yard and shop would be. Wasn't Marion a big deal to Erie and EL?

I've never seen an EL unit with the headlight blanked like on the 809. The upper housing was a Mars light on these ex-Lackawanna units.
