Does anyone know anything about the Network Rail building on the corner of Salkeld and Cook st in Tradeston? Specifically is it in use? The lights never seem to be on and I never see any activity (as I fly past on the train admittedly)

Thanks. I love the airport control tower style windows. Hopefully it can be preserved!
