Those tracks on the right belong to the railroads and to the Washington

called Potomac Yards.

They have something similar here. It's an underground phone switching
station. It looks like your typical switching station above ground, but
it has a two story underground "nuclear proof" complex. I'd seen the
above ground part for years without giving it much thought. I never knew
about the underground part until after the end of the Cold War.

I'm sure there are many more places around.
