The old coaling tower is easily visible for the steam locomotives, from when this was part of the Pere Marquette Railroad (visit link) . Also, in the distance, you see the multiple doors of the dis-used roundhouse.

According to articles found on-line, this yard is currently operated by CSX and there are approximately 8 trains per day originating here, for a total of about 300 cars.
