On a drive from DC, a while back, came across these two buildings.

Nice catch!
I've not seen any switch houses.

I would have missed it had I not got curious about the rail line going by the river. I was standing on the hill just above to the right of it. What caught my eye was the two story warehouse building. I drove down the street that led me to it. I did not have wide angle lens, so I settled for the signage. Walking back to the car I looked upline and saw the switch house, The lay of the land then suggested a staging yard at some time.

I wish I had more time and better legs. I enjoy structures of antiquity. (I am in process of becoming one myself.)
