at East Syracuse.It was used mostly to maintain NYC early diesel switchers before the big shop at Dewitt was opened.
Latter years it was a Speno shop where their rail grinding trains were built. In the end it was being used by a recycling company.

East Syracuse, NY -- When firefighters arrived on the scene of a large industrial fire Tuesday morning more than 80 percent of the building was engulfed in flames, East Syracuse Fire Chief Robert Russell said.
Around 2:15 a.m., firefighters were called to Syracuse Recycling and Recovery located at 380 Carr St., after a call came in that the recycling plant was on fire.
Plastics, papers and metals inside the building contributed to the fire, Russell said. The plant is made up of five buildings that are interconnected. All of them have been destroyed by the fire
