    Not...
    • Africa
    • China
    • The Americas
    • Europe
    • Australia

    That leaves, like where?
    • Antarctica
    • New Zealand (hmm)
    • Pacific Islands
    • Indonesia
    • Asia outside China
    • Middle East
    • Russia (or do we call that Europe these days?)

    So I have to look outside and then everywhere north-west ;)

    Edit:
    Looked around some,
    I don't think it's New Zealand or a Pacific Island. Nor Japan - they tend to build towns on rivers. It could be India or Pakistan or Thailand (maybe), but South East Asia just looks too green for my likes. It could be Eastern Russia, but probably not Mongolia.
    And what do we call the countries around Afghanistan?
    The Western Far East?
    The Eastern Middle East?
    because it might be there too :)

    It's over!

    Finally, after thousands of miles of rail, numerous continents, hundreds of countries, thousands of cities and towns searched, 3 clues, 7 hints, immense knowledge of trains, and expert opinions on the geography......Here it is about 20 miles NE of Obskaya Russia.

    Coordinates are 66°56'24.09"N 66°44'28.74"E

    Glad this one is over! :tb-biggrin:

    BTW, It was also just plain luck!

    Now that it's found I can check my assumptions, and it looks like I should feed the quoted heading into The Gimp unaltered, to rotate the image the correct amount. :lightbulb:

    Well, I wasn't even close to looking there; so this one is all yours!

    Also, go back and look at Hints #4 - #6 as it should have told you it was in Russia by #6.

    Hint #7 was to trying to get you to see this progression of hints

    #4: Between the lines saying yes it's in one of those countries & not Africa
    #5: Eliminated China as well as Africa
    #6: Eliminated China, Europe, and Africa - leaving just Russia
