@Peterthegreat "Bosnia" is not a valid station I'm afraid. The correct answer was Mostar.

I am well aware Bosnia is not a station. I would however have thought a response would have been desirable.

Purely on the basis of the plinthed steam locomotive - Havre. I've never been there. The only place I've been in the USA is New York...

Yes, that's the rear of the eastbound Empire Builder at Havre, MT. The plinthed loco is Great Northern 2584. The tank cars to the left gives an indication of why, at that point, the service was a couple of hours behind schedule; but, fortunately in the end, were less than 60 mins late (on a 45 hour trip) into Chicago Union station.

Wow! I wasn't sure I'd actually got that right...
Here's my next entry, and it's from my archives from 1983; I've put two pictures up as neither show enough of the station individually to give enough detail, I think - but collectively, they should:

Nope!
Feels Sri Lankan to me so I'm going to go with Fort station in Colombo.
Very good, that's right!
Excellent, especially as I've never been to the sub-continent let alone Sri Lanka (but it's on the bucket list)! How about this:

Correct! Some day I will need to come back as I now have a glaring gap in my coverage from Suwalki to Vilnius...

Indeed! Goes nicely with this text message I received whilst on the train:
(Image shows text message saying: "Warning! BAN on staying in the Polish area near the Belarus border. Unauthorised crossing is forbidden. Soldiers may use weapons. Turn back immediately!")
