Nabisco plant at 1400 Murphy Ave SW.  The photo was taken from Lee Street, looking to the east across the  railroad tracks at the plant which is on Murphy.  It's difficult to see  Murphy in this shot but it's there.

Nabisco plant, 1400 Murphy Avenue. 

You -really- can't see Murphy Avenue in this shot.  The railroad tracks in the top photo are still there, though they are now obscured by the presence of the slightly elevated MARTA tracks that run alongside the originals.   Add to that a security fence and, as you can see, the Nabisco factory can be a bit difficult to discern from this perspective.  If you want to catch a glimpse of the Nabisco building, next time you're riding the MARTA  train south from downtown  face the front of the train and look out the window to your left immediately after departing the Oakland City station.
