   Crossposted and followup to misc.transport.rail.americas, since the   
   location is in Miami, Florida, USA.

   I punched in an approximate address at   
   http://www.miamidade.gov/propertysearch/   
   and got the "real" address of 15500 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami, FL   
   33160-4610.  It is owned by Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer.  Both   
   buildings were built in 1975.  Under "extra features", it says   
   "Plumbing fixtures - Warehouse".   
      
   If you go to the above URL, click "Folio", and enter 06-2221-007-0250 ,   
   you can see the complete listing for the property.

   Just east of the above location - down NE 156th Street - is something   
   that looks from above like a water or sewer treatment plant.  A map on   
   page 4 of   
   http://www.sfwmd.gov/portal/page/portal/xrepository/sfwmd_reposi   
   ory_pdf/p_4a%20mdwasd-sfwmd-lecwsp_4-18-12.pdf   
   says "NDWWTP", and a little guessing leads me to the North District   
   Wastewater Treatment Plant, 2575 NE 156th Street:   
   http://data.rtknet.org/rmp/rmp.php?facility_id=100000094373&detail=3   
      
   I'd guess that either treatment chemicals come in, or waste products go   
   out, by rail.  Maybe there is a pipeline or conveyor, underground, from   
   that wastewater plant to building you linked to.
