A freight house would normally have a loading track (or several parallel ones) next to it. You might want to adjust the position of this one farther toward you from where you took the photo so it might face on one of the yard tracks in that area. Or figure out a different use for that piece of real estate -- a metal recycler might be one option. It would have foreground visual interest, but it wouldn't be as high.
Specific railroad scrap would be another option. This area on my layout, which is due for some enhancement as other scenery gets closer, was inspired by a visit to Larry's Truck and Electric in McDonald, OH:
The idea was especially appealing to me since I have lots of old cheap plastic diesel bodies from old kitbash projects.
