    Well, I have been poking around Southern California and Spain looking for the end of a commuter line where rolling stock is maintained. Nothing looks promising so far.

    Let's see,

    The sphere is obviously the prototype globe for the '64 Worlds Fair and the circle in the upper left of the larger pic is clearly the foundation for Shea Stadium.

    I have no idea how you guys get the correct sites, but it's always a kick.

    Good job Hemi. I was looking in Spain so was at least in the neighborhood.

    Nice job, Hemi! Now you get a "TB Geosleuth" bar to add to your "Tunnel Junkie" one.

    Thanks, guys.. My wife nearly found it.. She was looking near Barcelona, Spain when I took over. I figured the shadows were close, and the huge station should be in a large city--a few minutes later, I moved to Lisbon, and there it was.
