Irondale, AL Steam Shop

Is the former NS/Southern Steam shop in Irondale still standing?  I was looking at Google Earth and it looks like a similar type structure is in the North East corner of the yard.  Is that it?  

Thanks in advance,

Alan

Thanks.  Are you able to tell me which building it is now and what it is used for.  Thanks again!

Light running repairs to diesels.  It was originally built as a diesel shop, anyway.

Light running repairs?!?
Birmingham is a System Shop. Maintenances, traction motor change out, wheel true, turbos, power assemblies, air compressors, and some wreck repair.

Where were these diesel repairs done before the steam shop was closed?

Thanks
