    Hint time:

    Not in a state, that begins with an A.



    And btw there has been tracks around here for the past 70-75 years.

    Probably not in any which begin with either the letter "Q" or "Z", either! :)

    You are absolutely right, and not a B, either.

    And infact you might as well take out states beginning with a C too. :)

    Has me wondering if North/South Dakota fall under D, or N/S instead?
    I still figure 10 possible states to check!

    It might be in the State of Confusion.

    The building size says it must be smaller switchers.

    Let take out the S to eliminate confusion about the Dakotas and the Carolinas ;-)
    And then I'll take out the W as well.

    Boxcab you are on to something, about your last comment ;-)

    Wauw no response in 7 days. Guess people have been doing other things than searching :).
    Let me eliminate some more states by saying: not in a state beginning with an M.

    Maybe a zoom out? I canvassed Idaho and parts of Oklahoma but came up empty.

    I have no chance at all of figuring this out. But, I would like to say that the rail entrance to the building is really close to the road. I mean you are right there ready to hit something as you exit the shed. I don't think I have ever seen a railroad engine shop building exactly like that.

    Taking out states beginning with an I and a P.

    Oh, btw name of the nearby city is also mentioned in LOTR :) all though it's not the same place ;-)

    Not being into LOTR makes that clue nearly useless to me. Is this a shortline, or an industrial switcher shed?

    I know what "LOTR" represents, but that's about it for me. I don't know the stories associated. :(

    It is a shortline. The name of the railroad should somehow ring a bell for you if you are a Z-scaler.

    Not at all anywhere east of Kansas City.

    Now I wont give anymore hints.........I think :)

    Bazinga! (sorry if you don't watch Big bang Theory--I'm a "Sheldon")
    Rogue Valley Terminal, White City, OR.
    I was all over northern and eastern OR but never considered this area. I tore up the whole state of Oklahoma, too.
