Marshall has created a pact with the widow of this once thriving business. On the verge of bankruptcy, Marshall has potentially saved the business and created a pathway for the Hells Angels Biker Club to open a chapter in Gary, Indiana.
Brenda Guffinlaw may not have made a deal with the devil, but she is making plenty of them for the Hells Angels. She exclusively owns the business, and is Marshall's partner, without him needing to use any of his vampiric powers at all. She is in no position to have scruples, and as Gary further degenerates, she is ready to make some bucks and then cash out.
Just having graduated from college, Helen Scarbin is smart enough to know that she should learn as much as she can from someone like Brenda, and is willing to soak up information like a sponge. She's from the midwest. Chicago is expensive and the city is dangerous. Gary is cheap and also dangerous. She's gone with cheap, and now works full time as Brenda's new assistant.
The business is still a work in progress. Barry has helped Brenda start making improvements, such as creating better protection with a roll-down metal barrier for the front window, and money for Helen, Brenda's new assistant.

Municipal Assets:
While Marshall cannot actually take over Amtrack itself (the central office is in Washington DC) he can control the local stations, which would give him power to hurt or harm Kindred trying to travel by train.
As this is a very popular way for Kindred to travel through the region, it is a good asset to have.
Marshall has stated his intentions to do it to Gangrel Elder Lucian, who has told him he approves. Marshall has yet to do anything about it.

Physical Assets and Retainers:
What makes Barry Marshall so dangerous is that he has been an instrumental part of the Hells Angels many expansions nationally and globally, and is a key reason they are a force to be reckoned with. He's been involved with them for five decades, and the gang members at the very core of the gang know what he is and follow his lead.
This has never breached the Masquerade, and if Barry wants to expand into Gary, Indiana, the gang will happily open shop there. They are a major power that few entities have the actual power to stop.
Many Harley Davidson motorcycles are custom-built for their owner, but nobody has a Harley quite like this one. Its fast, mean, meant for combat and cross-country driving. It has a holster built in for Marshall's sawed-off shotgun, and has other features that are not strictly legal.
Marshall is one with this cycle. When he rides it, he can perform maneuvers that defy logic.
Right now, the Harley is in the shop, being repaired after a run-in with Juggler and an 18-wheeler truck, but eventually it will be back up to snuff.

Special Powers and Abilities:
Marshall can use his blood to continue to soak damage far beyond what even most other Kindred can do. This is a result in a specialty in Fortitude far beyond the norm. The entire Gary police department shot him with almost every bullet and shotgun shell the station had. The result: 47 police officers dead, Marshall Barry -- still fighting.
He can use this ability offensively as well, such as when he leaped through the front window of an eighteen-wheel truck that was barreling down on his position.
