I was over at West 55th Street in La Grange the other day, and one noticable change was the sign on the front lawn. Where it previously said "Electro-Motive Division, General Motors Corporation", all the lettering has been knocked down except "Electro-Motive", which is offset to the left with the fastenings for all the eliminated lettering still evident on the board.
The street address number has been installed where the "General Motors Corporation" lettering used to be.
It all seemed very consistent with the relettering and renumbering commonly done on locomotives following a merger. It had me looking for the roller splotches of black paint and the Penn Central decals.
