A room with a view

[The Pilotman]

Towards the end of last year I was staying in a hotel in Zürich which overlooked the extensive network of lines and sidings a couple of kilometres west of Zürich Hauptbahnhof. It gave me the idea of starting a thread comprising pictures of trains that were taken from inside a building. To make things a little more challenging, the building from which the picture was taken must not have any railway-related function so pictures from inside a yard mess room, platform waiting room, signal box, booking office etc. are not allowed. Quality is not important (as you will see from my iPhone picture) but I hope it will generate some interesting images and captions too.
