The curved track itself is very active, the BNSF route from Malabar to the team track or whatever it is next to the LAJ team track at Fruitland. The angle from that parking lot wouldn't be much better, it seems to me, and you'd have to be shooting through the diamonds in the chain link fence -- and even if you could get a straight-on shot of each part of the building (you'd still have to correct for keystoning and your angle on the ground looking up at the thing) there'd be no guarantee that the proportions would work out between a prototype reduced to scale and what I'd decided to scope out as a model. I'm still inclined to work with what I can kitbash and make up from scale brick and corrugated materials and (hope, hope) cast windows.
