I'm guessing something with a FedEx theme?
A control tower.
Not familiar with all the major commuter lines but that looks likeprt of aCommuter rail logo so I'm guessing passenger cars.

That’s what I thought of when I first saw it, but those I’ve seen have the arrows pointing in opposite directions.

I agree a FedEx warehouse or some FedEx trucks.

Good guess, although the actual arrow is white. But combining the arrow with FedEx purple would be a good hint.
Erie western?
FedEx transfer dock.
Just wait for @cabinet Bob to comment and then you'll know. LOL!
I haven't a clue. Could be a freight car, building or something totally not expected. Hopefully Dad will be chiming in with a clue too...........Paul 2

Yup
what direction is it pointing to ?
Yup is not helpful Dad! FEDX box truck, final answer! LOL
Depending upon where your computer is setting, it could be to the West, East, North or South or somewhere in between. But I would say it's pointing to my right. Does that help?
@cabinet Bob posted:what direction is it pointing to ?
Towards the restroom.
Maybe a Amtrak Freight car

Ship it Fast: The FedEx Freight Building from Menards! Shop Now >
Dimensions: 12”W x 6”D x 5-1/2”H
The Basics: This a fully assembled and decorated modern freight terminal. FedEx has an office, two warehouse doors, and a moving forklift. The building’s footprint is 12 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 5-1/2 inches tall. The model has exterior illumination provided by 24 LEDs, and a forklift with load. The building is designed for use with the Menards Plug & Play 4.5-volt power supply, sold separately.
Check Menards SKUs 279-4061, 279-4062, or 279-4050. You may wish to consider the 8- or 9-piece Plug & Play accessory kits (SKU# 279-4035, 4681) and to serve multiple structures and vehicles. All are available separately.
Why you need this: This building is as modern as it gets. If you have a FedEx store nearly, you probably have a FedEx distribution center in the area. Taking center stage is a bold purple and orange company sign. Just below the logo are two warehouse doors, one closed, one is open. When powered up, a motorized forklift moves out on the loading dock, then backs up, and repeats the cycle. Jack is to the left of the forklift, no doubt keeping an eye out for a shipment of dog treats.
The loading dock has a simulated cinder block foundation with yellow and black safety stripes at the edge. The surface of the dock has a concrete appearance. The left side of the building has an office extending out slightly from the building. It has a window and door, and a FedEx worker is about to enter. An American flag is positioned at the corner of the building.
Additional details include three shrubs, cargo boxes on the forklift and on the dock, and two HVAC units on the roof.
If your layout is focused on contemporary railroading, you can add few structures that say ‘Today’ better than the FedEx Freight Building.
Bingo!!!
