Photo Mystery No. 2. Can You Guess The Country Where This Railway Photo Was Taken?
If you scroll down to my posting of Oct 4 you’ll see a scene from a rail yard in a large city. At the time of writing this weeks posting, no one has as yet correctly identified the city where the Oct 4 photo was taken. See the comments under the Oct 4 post if you think you know the answer.
New Mystery Photo #2 – Guess the Country
If you thought that was hard, try and pick the country where this scene was photographed. It is not near a city but is near a small town and the engine is doing some shunting work and reversing. If you want to have a go at guessing the country, then simply add your guess directly below today’s posting using the COMMENTS LINK under the photo.
I will add a reply in the COMMENTS section when/if someone picks the correct answer.

The trees appear to be tropical by nature, and the rails dont appear to be north american. So my guess is central or south american generally. The country i can only guess as Chile with snow on the mointains.

Neither this is Sweden, nor Norway, Denmark or Finland. In fact it’s probably none of the EU countries. We use buffers and screw couplers. Except Finland that uses Russian gauge, and central couplers. Spain I don’t know. But Spain, Portugal and Finland have broad gauge. Narrow gauge lines can have central couplers, but they are in general not electrified. Except in Switzerland. It does not look very narrow though. The few buildings have a West-Central Europe touch in my eyes. But it looks more subtropic than Switzerland. And I miss those signs that say, “we get snow in winters”. Gosh, this was hard. No guess, just muess 🙂
