The red brick building topped with white stone to the left in the background is the Erecting Hall for the DL&W steam engines. It's at the east end of the once sprawling DL&W shops complex. General Dynamics currently operates the building as a government weapons plant.
The white stone building above the second locomotive is the former Lackawanna division office, now a Radisson hotel.

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.
