This picture puzzled me as well. We're obviously looking west (you can see the Palisades cliffs in the background), but there is a series of yard light towers on the right side.

I'm guessing this isn't Hoboken, but rather Jersey City, and that we're on the south side of the old Erie terminal in this view. The "storage" building at the left certainly resembles one of the ones you'd see at that location.

Those storage warehouses were in business into early CR years, so I assume that's what the cars are for.
