Guess the freight location

[blackettstreet]

I don't think this has been done before (apologies if it has). The idea is to post a picture of a freight facility, yard or sidings on Network rail metals in Britain. Then other users take guesses, and whoever gets the answer right gets to post the next photo, etc.

What can be used.....any freight loading or unloading facility, yards used for freight, or sidings used to hold freight trains. I don't think loops should be included because many will be out in the middle of nowhere and look identical to hundreds of others. I don't think ECS sidings should count either, or this'll turn into 'Guess the Depot'.

If people think this is a good idea, then maybe we can give it a go?

EDIT- Well, I'll put a photo up to start off. I might not be back till tomorrow, but this should be blantantly obvious so please feel free to move on.
