Roger - I don't think I have a picture either, but it is still standing and 
we got to see it this spring thanks to Ed's being tour guide for us.  The 
building is brick and today houses a company that makes low cost wood 
pallets.  I got out of the car and walked around the complex and some of the 
electrical fasteners are outside mounted on the side wall, the doors in the 
one end have not been altered too much but the present company pulled the 
track up or covered it and there is no evidence of the barn floor.  It looked 
like the roof trusses are original but I didn't go in to see about wire 
hangers, etc., still in place.  There was a lot of activity going on and 
while pleasant, they were not offering plant tours.   

I have seen pictures of the interior where 700 series cars were stored until 
about the end of service, one or more that were never converted to one man.
