Street View, Mar 2025 |
The diesel shop is a museum of locomotive liveries. In the foreground is a KCS heritage unit coupled to what I believe railfans call a "fake bonnet." Near the center, from left to right, we see Santa Fe, H1 and BN liveries.

In this view we see a couple of Santa Fe liveries and at least one H1. Near the upper-left corner we see a yard tower. Google Maps labels it a "Trimmer Tower."
