Couldn't tell for sure, but the main picture, in the first link, shows the shops being demolished. The far left side of this picture, seems to show a carbody type loco, painted blue, among the debris of the demolition. Anybody know about this?

When I first viewed this photo I initally thought the 462 or 909 ("B" unit) but they were melted down by Peilet brothers years before. The track the unit is on was the entrance to the rebuild area. SOmething may have been in the process of being striped out when EMD vacated the area. I don't imagine a hunk of scrap that big being left behind but you never know....
