Railbaron is correct. The Homestead yardmaster's tower, and switchman's and carman's shanties would be to your right. The cars in the background are on various tracks in the 50 Lead.
Trivia about the 1279: When it was being repainted into scarlet and gray, the radiator shutters were left in the open position. Afterwards, when they were in the normal closed position, the orange and black "Tiger Stripes" were very obvious.
