First a question:

What is the locomotives  on the cut of  cars in the center of the picture?

Second a comment:

the stack from the shop buildings putting out  smoke probably from the 
bituminous used in the  forges.  The many white plumes are steam or 
water vapor.   Note how little  emissions are coming from the stacks of 
the 800 series locos and the other locos a the right  of the picture.
