Bennet Levin's keeps his E-8's in Philadelphia, PA in a warehouse along the
Amtrak mainline half way between North Philadelphia Station and Frankford Jct.

I believe a few were kept in passenger trim for business train service.
At least EL #825 (later CR #4014) and #833 (later CR #4022) were retained
for the Youngstown-Cleveland passenger service 'till 1/77 - afterwards, they
eventually were utlized in CR OCS , with the #4022 I believe still in
storage at Bennet Levin's garage in Altoona along w/his PRR E8's...
