Oooh, I've been waiting for this one...but seeing as Scott posted it less than ten minutes ago, I'll let a few more people at least LOOK at it first! ;) (Sometimes you just happen to go online at the right time.)

Well, I know from checking that it probably isn't Paris, London, Berlin, Rome (didn't think it was), Athens, Istanbul, or Ismet, or Mexico City... or Johannesburg. I noticed that it looked like the shadows were SOUTH of the buildings after going through a bunch of guesses.

Looks like there is catenary on the main line and in the shop area? I was unaware that electrification was used in this part of the world, aside from Japan, China, and Australia, that is....?

Ben,

Go for it!
It wouldn't have been the first time a location has been found within minutes of it being posted.
Then it's off to the next one!!!
