There's still a double track crossing there, but the Erie is gone as is the
C&O and NYC/MC. The GTW/CN and the EJ&E are still there. There's still traffic
there, but not like it once was. There are stubs off the EJ&E that are a
little less than a mile long each of the Erie to the northwest and the C&O to
the southeast, left to service commercial customers.

I have attached an annotated Google Earth image.
