This would normally be off-topic here (it's about modern locomotive construction at Erie), but there is some good footage shot in the erecting hall--would be classic if similar footage were available from Lima or Roanoke (and might be considered classic in its own right in another 30 years).

Commercial only; better sound levels.

Fortunately a lot of nice photography survives of the EMD Plant One high bay in La Grange, covering more than fifty years of production activity and numerous types of locomotives.

The last time I was out there I drove my car around the parking lot that now occupies the plot where the high bay was located. More than 12,000 people worked there in the 1970s, now I think it is around 2,000.
