A friend referred me to this auction coming up late February in Newark, Del. at the former Chrysler auto plant:

The listing of what's there (http://marketing.greatamerican.com/ga/A ... isting.doc) includes a whole mess of big machine tools. If they are of use to any railroad shop, there does happen to be an adjacent railroad yard, and as I recall at least one siding going into the main assembly building, if you want to ship on a flat car.

I get nothing out of this posting except nostalgia, as I used to do LOTS of railfanning around this plant and the nearby ex-PRR station.
