Transfer Table: (Satellite)
The 3D feature did a poor job of rendering a metal facility on the left side near the front. Here is a closeup. It is a better rendering, but I still can't figure out what it was. Taking a hint from the Wabash Yard in Decatur, IL, maybe it was part of the ash pit.

The 3D satellite feature does a decent job of rendering the coaling tower in the lower-right corner. The foundation of the roundhouse is on the left side and the Amtrak maintenance facility is in the right background.
