Having some fun with Google Maps tracking down former locomotive factories. Here are some Hi Res ones I've found so far.

(you may have to cut and paste if the links wrap)

The location of the former CLC factory in Kingston,ON....
An empty lot since CLC shut down in 1970

The former ALCO Brooks works in Dunkirk, NY....
Not 100% on this one, but the building layout seems to match a postcard I have.

Baldwin's Eddystone works...
The + shaped office building still exists, but everything has been leveled.
