S Yorks, usually
A quick bit of language research suggests a Marathi-speaking area of India, probably Maharashtra state, but with a big area and an extensive rail system, I’m still none the wiser!

OK - another Clue:

The country that this station is located in is on Atlantic coast of Central Africa. The country is on the Equator.

Yes, the last three guesses were in Gabon already, it's just a matter of hitting on the right one.

Lastourville looks like a good candidate. Or is it Lastoursville? Maps vary, but the actual station doesn't seem to have the 's' that's in the adjacent town.

Wait! I've just realised your actual photo has been lifted from Google Maps as well!

Correct! Lastoursville in Gabon. Moanda is actually in Democratic Republic of the Congo which was one of the guesses. Franceville and Libreville were in the right area though - at both ends of the line. Only one line in Gabon with 6 Stations so easy to narrow down once you know it's Gabon.

Well done - over you.

Ah! Some confusion there. Yes, there is a Moanda in the DRC, but I (and presumably @Mag_seven) was referring to the Moanda which is the next station along the Transgabonais from Franceville, and definitely in Gabon. It's also the case that on some maps it's spelled Mouanda.

Also, if you are on the 'Omnibus', rather than the 'Express', there are a great many more than six or seven stations!
