I thought the train tunnel already had a cover over it. Maybe that is just a walkway?

Yes
The north end already has its cover but it hasn’t made it this far south yet.

Is having concrete on either side of an already loud train going to create too much noise for the passengers? Or is the pass thru time so minimal is doesn't register?
It’s very short

I have to assume the indoor section of the Disneyland RR is longer than this so can't imagine it will be an issue. Probably similar in length to the indoor section of the Magic Kingdom RR through Splash mountain - and I have never noticed any noise issues there.

Anyone have any idea what the mystery building at the back is for?
In Shanghai it's a sponsor lounge location for Chevrolet, but WDW's attraction sponsor is Enterprise car rentals so doubt they'll need a showroom for that
Other possibilities are lockers, but the lockers in Shanghai are built into the base of the pillars under the canopy.
So we're left with the exciting prospect of restrooms or a shop?

Some insist lockers, some insist restrooms. I thought the debate had settled on lockers with some degree of certainty, but I see many still reporting restrooms.

We travel through a similar structure at Pirates.

Yeah, I’m unsure. It would be an odd location for restrooms since it’s past the ride marquee but they aren’t always logical. I don’t gather our version has access to the same location as SDLs lockers but I haven’t been to SDL to really visualize.
I’d say I’m 60% sure these are lockers. Any close ups of entry? Bathrooms are rather distinctive.
You just hinted at the likely justification. It'd be free* for resort guests, a pseudo-perk all others pay out the wazoo. Or genie it. More evil than genius but I wouldn't put it passed Bob.

That's where the operational inefficiencies come in, though. That would bring the whole service to a grinding halt as they'd have to check every single passenger before they were allowed to board. It would devalue the service so much that I can't imagine anyone would be willing to pay for it.
Why pay $10 to use a Disney bus that might take 60+ minutes to get you to your destination when you could pay $15 for an Uber that'll get you there in 10?

It’s not such on odd spot when you consider that there are maximum travel distance requirements for restrooms.

Looks like restroom then, and underneath on the ground floor will be some backstage cast member area maybe.

Those openings do look a lot like restrooms. The wide ones to the main group restrooms, a middle door for a family restroom and a custodial space. It wouldn’t really make sense to have such tight openings on a locker area that you want open and easily able to move people.

My previous post seems to be relevant again.
