does anyone know what this NYLE&W railroad location in Pennsylvania is?

does anyone know what this NYLE&W railroad location in Pennsylvania is?

I have an antique photograph, circa 1890. The location is Pennsylvania.

It shows a large wooden structure, parallel to the tracks, for what looks like loading railroad cars… are they loading coal tenders? At the top, there are some wooden crates (or maybe they are train cars) painted with NYLE&W. Do you know what and where this structure is? Any info appreciated!

NYLE&W = New York Lake Erie & Western?

Probably some place near Pittsburgh.

You could always get in touch with one of the Pennsylvania chapters of the National Railway Historical Society:
