Names and proper pronunciation fascinate me to no end. For instance there is the Willamette River, my Mom was certain that I was not saying it right, but a disinterested third party confirmed that I was was right, it's Will Lamb It - Damn It! <VBG>
My sincere apologies to anyone offended.
People likewise are in a state of disbelief when I tell them I've been from Boring, Oregon to Remote, Oregon via Drain and Zigzag. (actually I haven't been to Zigzag just yet), but I've been on either side of it.
Take Care,

As would the people of MUN-row county New York, the location of the photo under discussion - See what I did there, brought it back to the actual subject 😉

Charlotte (pronounce Shar-LOT, not SHAR-let) was served by the New York Central. While not a direct connection to the shops in East Rochester, given that the steel mill has been shut down for some 20 years by the time of the photo, it would make sense that the NYC was using it for storage.
