Huge passenger train shed, roundhouse, turntable, mostly electrified? Looks like Europe to me. Cannot get GE at work, so I can't search!:p

I was thinking southern hemisphere owing to the shadows.

[HemiAdda2d]

I guess the electrification led me to think Western Europe.
The clay tile roofs are much too prevalent--at first, I thought NE Corridor.

I should have known. That is where I first saw the bulldogs (engines). It is a large yard, but it also looks like several of the tracks have been removed. There is an engine refueling part of this yard, too. I'll see if I can find my pictures.

The refuelling area is above the yard to the left in the image. The vacant area between them is supposedly slated for a huge intermodal area one day.
