It's not in the U.S.

Pray tell how you know that to be so?

Well, first off, I should have said "I don't think it's in the U.S." because I'm not 100% certain.

However, there aren't many electrified train systems in the U.S.; mostly they are in the New York area, and this doesn't look like one of the systems I'm familiar with, so my guess is it's not in the U.S.

Could be wrong, though! :-)

Re: ASK THE EXPERT (none / 1)

It's okay, you just weirded me out by saying it definitely wasn't in the US. I looked at the picture and noticed that the station, and more important the carriage livery, bore a striking resemblance to ones I've seen in Conneticut which go all the way to Rhode Island from New York.

But the engine looks all wrong, so I think you're right. My guess would otherwise be Switzerland, but only because it is a nice shade of red.

I was trying to guess based on the appearance of the people, but this particular batch doesn't look particularly American or particularly European either...

My first thought was London Waterloo. But then I don't recognise the train so I decided not that.

Am I right those are wooden sleepers?

Well spotted. (More visible on this (large) photo on the same station.)
