RE: (erielack) Photo of EL RS-2 #902

Paul and listers,
   
  It's Hoboken..the presence of the signal bridge-actaully sand tower tells it all.  The MU shed was that tall.

What puzzles me is the presence of a company-service covered hopper to
the left of the engine - I don't see why this would be at that location.
At first glance, I thought (as Bob Bahrs and Rich Pennisi pointed out)
it was the MU shed in Hoboken, which always had one of these company
service covered hoppers there, but I thought this building looked much
taller than the MU shed. Any confirmations?
