    It has two tracks going into it.

    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.

    Anyone know what it is?

    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_repository_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.
