I sent a photo of the freight house "diamond" to the list back in 2005, it's
at:

I have attached a shot of the JO signal bridges and platform taken August 6,
2005.

Bing maps has a nice view of the platform and signal bridges at:
http://s.railfan.net/?3651 (shortened long URL)

You can pan the bird's eye view south to see the rest of the platform and a
nice defoliated view of the cantilever signal bridge and inbound freight
house. The only dates shown are 2009 and 2010 copyrights. If the correct
bird's eye view doesn't come up (M$ is screwing around with Silverlight on
their Bing Maps now) you should be able to manipulate the map controls to get
to a bird's eye view of University Ave and Wolf Ledges Pkwy (old Washington
St?) where you can see the tracks.
