Chris - I like the shot as the lighting is "perfect" for the composition and location of this photo. However, you say "Back several decades ago, in intermodal train took out part of the side of this building." I must correct you as I live in Columbus, Ohio and drove to this location the morning of that derailment. The train was (at the time) 26N Eastbound (compass south) Bellevue - Columbus - Norfolk, VA. The derailment happened in 2008 or 2009. There were containers and well cars all over the area, some as far as 200 yards into the farmers field behind the camera angle to your right - the train was traveling at track speed which is 60mph through here - and also missed taking out a chicken coop behind the camera to the left. The people with the chickens were relieved as they sell the eggs and the chickens at local farmer's markets. Two well cars with their containers went through the wall of the building to your left - which now is a winter storage for boats from nearby Alum Creek State Park that is only 2 miles to the right of the picture. One well car was buried half deep into the building to the left and missed destroying a $136,000 yacht by merely 5 inches. One of the containers got it's side peeled back from the jagged edge of the destroyed wall and it had brand new bicycles on board. My friend who was with me took several "evidence" photographs of the scene, and it's incredible to see a rail car "parked" next to a yacht inside a building. Luckily no-one was injured, (person or chickens) and it was only property damage. However it could have turned into something more serious as just to the right of where the photographer is standing is the switch that takes this from a single track main to double track all the way into Columbus. (The second rail you see in the photo ends at the north edge of the road crossing just in front of the locomotive plow - and the track is a storage siding for MofW equipment, or "bad order" cars.) The reason I say it could have gotten worse is that there is a propane tank just to the exact right of the photographer on the other side of the mainline that supplies the fuel for the switch heaters in the winter. While I was talking to the local Fire Battalion Chief on the scene, a NS employee standing next to the propane tank lit a cigarette. Needless to say the Battalion Chief and I got away from the "fool" - Chiefs term not mine - even though the tank appeared to not be damaged. The Chief summed it up: "Yeah, no injuries at time of derailment, a couple of fatalities due to delayed explosion of propane tank!" It was an interesting scene to say the least!
