Most if not all the storage buildings were serviced by the on-site railway system, whose track entered the dedicated engine shed at the end of each building, enabling locomotive powered trains to load and offload inside. In this view the extant railway track that serviced this building can be seen leading into the engine shed from the field outside. Image
